Broken Fences
We spend much of our lives erecting walls,
Setting boundaries, and building up defenses;
Keeping others at bay to prevent emotional falls,
Leading up to the inevitable broken fences.
We say things that cut deep like a surgeon’s knife,
Leaving others wounded and bleeding.
We do things, without thought to another’s life,
While selfishly pursuing our own leading.
Too often, we reflect on the injustices we feel
An imperfect world and its people display
While the fences lying broken are all too real,
Waiting to be repaired with the words we need to say.
The reality is that life is too precious to waste,
Keeping track of what who’s done to who.
Say, "I’m sorry. Please, forgive me," before it’s too late.
In the end, you’ll be glad when you do.
Live each day as though it may be your last,
But don’t waste it without thought of the consequences.
Do whatever it takes, before the die is cast,
So that you don’t leave, as your legacy, broken fences.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
