After he heard the shatter  
He took a step back,  
And realized his dream was just a single shard 
Amongst thousands of his blessings 
 
I put the pieces together  
And found that I myself was broken,  
Fragmented over time  
With hair line fractures on my surface  
At a moment's notice I'll be ready to crack 
 
And when I shattered 
The world took a step forward  
And found a missing piece to the puzzle  
That could have kept me together
