(Below is a song I wrote today--the very first song for which I've been able to pick out the chords! Thanks, Kid, for teaching me to play... it's a sweet, sweet sound. The song is called "Kaleidoscope." I told a friend the other day that relationships are like kaleidoscopes--made up of broken pieces, always shifting and changing. But the brokenness, and even the change, is a beautiful thing. Love you all.)
A kaleidoscope is broken glass
That makes a pretty picture
When the pieces fall
I wish that they could stay the same
But just one turn could rearrange it all
It's still beautiful
So beautiful
The people that I love aren't perfect
But God thinks that they're worth it
It's worth all the pain
Worth every lie I've bought into
And all the hell they've put me through
They're still beautiful
So beautiful
I love these broken pieces
I love these shattered lives
I wish my heart was strong enough
To hold this joy and pain inside
I wish my arms were wide enough
To gather them in close
I wish my voice was loud enough
That they would always know
How much I love them
I love them
They are my kaleidoscope
