Like Humpty Dumpty, I sat on a wall.
While in my grief, dire grief, I had a great fall.
Soon all the words of comfort from men
couldn't put me together again.
Only the One who has healing powers
could rain down on me His soothing showers.
This Son of God and this Son of Man
took my brokenness, just as I am.
Gathered me into His mighty embrace
and whispered His truth to me, face to face,
that in my brokenness, I may fall.
Yet, He will raise me back to the wall.
Humpty Dumpty may never be healed
but my name is forever sealed
upon the hands of the Son of Man;
because He has made me whole again.
I wrote this poem on a loose sheet of green paper back in May of '05. I dont remember what prompted me to write about Humpty Dumpty, but I do know that I was reading Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll at the time. Maybe I came across the part where Alice meets Humpty Dumpty and I was impressed upon to mention him in this poem.
