Many years ago, I wrote this poem to my Belated, Beloved Husband. In every relationship, we find two broken vessels whom join together in hopes of finding their missing piece; but, alas too often they find despair instead. God is the missing piece that brings hope and joy; because, two broken vessels need one hand of Grace to hold them together. He is also the one who can take two broken vessels and intertwine them together with His Grace and Mercy.
He did for me. Pete accepted Jesus Christ as His Savior and for that reason, I will one day see him again. Twenty three years ago, Pete went home to be with Jesus. Therefore, he no longer is a broken vessel; because, he was made whole by God, through faith in Jesus Christ. One day this broken vessel will join him there before the throne of our First Love and bow before His Majesty. One day….
A Broken Vessels Vow
By Effie Darlene Barba
Two hearts had joined as one that day
And never saw the dark pathway
That lay ahead and lay behind
Two hearts that joined in hope to find
A strength in love to shine a light
Upon their lonely darkest night
Each had brought with them their fears
Their brokenness and all their tears
And as their story did unfold
Two broken hearts their sorrow told
It wasn’t what they’d hoped that day
Can broken hearts still find a way?
A miracle is what they’d need
If ever they were to succeed
God’s gracious love must touch a heart
To help them stay, to not depart
Two broken hearts can beat as one
Because of Grace from God’s own son
The broken hearts are me and you
I ran to hide, to bid adieu
And then I saw your tear stained face
My heart was filled with love and grace
I saw the beauty of your heart
The tenderness you could impart
A brilliant mind so trapped within
I saw the man you could have been
If only you had known God’s love
His strength could help you rise above
And so, I vow to love you dear
Today and through each passing year
My strength must come from God alone
As now I bow before His throne
I’ll lay aside all my desire
That God might flame my passion fire
To rise within to find the strength
That I might go the final length
To love you better stronger still
For this I know has been God’s will
Concluding Thoughts
With God all things are possible and two broken vessels can become one Glorious shining light, as God has planned; because, God IS all we really need to mend our hearts so we can love unconditionally each other.
