Lyrics:
Broken Flower
By Suzanne Hodson
She was light and joy and sunshine,
Full of smiles, hugs, and heart
We’d play games and laugh together
Then, it suddenly went dark
Depression stole the girl I knew
Then the manic thoughts began
The smile dimmed and lights went out
A sadness, hard to understand
Lives torn apart
A mind with thoughts distorted
We miss the girl
A cruel disease discarded
I know she’s still there
Locked up in her tower
What’s left behind
Is a fragile, broken flower
See, once when she came back to us
She had a plate of plaster flowers
Ones she’d made to give away
She told me “choose one, and it’s yours”
I didn’t choose the perfect one,
She said, “it’s broken and needs glue”
I didn’t care, I loved it still
And my heart paused on that truth
She told me “thanks for choosing the broken flower”
I cried at the thought; I knew it meant more
A broken flower, a broken life,
This broken flower, was my son’s sweet wife
on
