Disbanded Blooms

As a kid, I remember pretend-playing family.

All along, I just wanted to be in love.

Even then, the seed in my garden-heart just wanted to bloom.

All along, I just wanted to embrace someone.

I grew up and did the best I could,

but despite my efforts, she discovered the arms of another man,

and my world fell through, disbanded.

One day, I believe I’ll wake up and know it was all just a nightmare,

but that just hasn’t happened yet,

or maybe I’m just still sleeping.

God’s plans are better,

despite personal circumstances,

despite the agony and disappointment.
