Broken Eggs
Once an egg is broken,
You can never put it back.
Some pieces may be missing
and will forever have a crack.

Like these eggs are unkind words.
In cruelty, they're spoken
And, like a delicate little egg,
The surface is cracked and broken.

Feelings should be handled with care,
Used in recipes of love.
If it calls for two medium eggs,
May they come from Heaven, above.

Never crack a delicate shell
With unkind words spoken.
Like Humpty Dumpty on his wall,
Those eggs should never be broken.
