A masterpiece has a story
But strength doesn't come from
Physical capacity
It comes from an
Indomitable will
Like a window shattered into a
million fragments of colorful
transparent glass, but when it
is put back together again it is a
Stain glass window
It's a masterpiece
But also shows the wounds it once
had
In moments that you think you can't
keep going
Your strength grows each more
each day
Which shines brighter than it ever
has before
No matter how many times it shall
break
The ones who win battles we know
nothing about are the strongest in
their worst moments
It can take an overwhelming break-
down to have an incredible
breakthrough
With that comes new strength and
new thoughts
The stain glass masterpiece will
always keep shinning after a break-
through
You overcome the things you thought
you couldn't do
It is turned into a masterpiece
Your challenges are not supposed to
Paralyze you
Instead they should help you discover
Who you are
With that you will have a
Longer story
You will be
Stronger

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem while my daughter was in the NICU because she got sick and could have died but she didn't die. I have been through a lot in my life with both my my children. This poem talks becoming stronger every time something happens, because you can fall apart but when you get yourself back together you are stranger than before you fell apart the first time.

a broken heart,mended and fused into stail glass
BRIAN HERE ~ GOOD EVENING VANESSA ~ Welcome to MPS you will find it a very empathetic site ! It functions by reading & commenting on each others POEMS ~ OK ! Thanks for your first POEM ! It is an excellent *free verse* poem ~ pulsating with rhythm and on Brokeness & Repair a subject straight from your own Heart ! The best Poetry is always Personal & Cathartic ~ it helps to heal the broken hearted ~ AMEN
We love the analogy you draw between an average *Pane of Glass* (which is like our day-to-day lives) being shattered (by circumstance) and reformed into something more beautiful ~ A STAINED GLASS WINDOW ! It is only by experiencing ~ loss & defeat ~ that our character really develops ~ AMEN !
The collolary analogy is also TRUE ! We have much of the Worlds most beautiful ANTIQUE STAINED GLASS in the UK ~ and when you go and see Modern Stained Glass being made it is simply hundreds of coloured glass fragments of NO intrinsic individual value ! BUT they have all been *Cut to Size* ! In the hands of the Craftsman ~ they are assembled in to something of Beauty & Value. The WHOLE WINDOW is worth more than a THOUSAND times more than the *Sum of its Parts* ~ AMEN. So too in our CHARACTER ! Each little experience (sone negative ~ some positive) in our lives is like a fragment of Coloured Glass which adds another facet to our Character increasing its Beauty & Value ! Wen our inner light shines through we appear as radient as the Rose Windows in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris !
There is much more *Food for Thought* in your very elegant Poem ~ more please !
Blessings & Peace & Joy in 2020
Yours Brian & Angela (my Fiancee) 💙🧡💙
