   you know how it is   when you feel like you've left part of yourself   somewhere?   in a place that you loved   with people you loved   or someone you loved?   I've had a little of that going on   and it hurts, the tearing away when you leave   again and again   why, Lord?  I cried   I feel so empty   losing bits of myself   will there be anything left?   but a gentle smile in reply   my scarred Savior opened my eyes a little   to see   where I thought I was empty   so many little pieces   of other people's hearts   that they left with me   so much richer, this kind of fullness   and those pieces of my heart   though I thought it was dying   like seeds they grow   planted in other lives    and He says this is the way   He means us to live   to love   to trust   isn't it beautiful?
