Repair

April 6

I am thankful for repair. I suppose everyone or everything eventually develops chinks in their armor and need repair. Repair is a sign of wear and tear or age, and with that experience.

This photograph was taken of one of the building facades at LSU. I always thought that the repairs should be done in a tan color to match the side of the wall, but the white lines make for a better photo to illustrate the repair. I like this photo because of the multitude of cracks and the pattern of the repaired cracks on the wall. Those lines almost look like a roadmap, needed to get to a destination. So it is with repair-it is necessary to keep us or things in prime working order and get us to our destination.

i’ve got cracks in my wall

cracks in my brick

cracks all around

cracks growing thick

cracks everywhere i go

cracks can be such a pain

but the cracks that worry me most

are the cracks in my brain.
