Broken Candy Cane

In a world of shattered dreams, where nothing's quite as sweet it seems there's a candy cane that's lost its way, broken on this Christmas day Pieces on the floor, red and white no more a bittersweet encore as we long for days of yore Broken candy canes lying on the ground, lost their sweetness, lost their sound Cracks in refinement, shattered sight, a symbol of hope that lost its light Once so vibrant, once so bold, now in fragments, stories untold Memories of joy and cheer now replaced with silent tears Fragments on the floor, what was sweet is sour a broken candy cane's alarm reminds us of the past in our world Broken candy canes lying on the ground, lost their sweetness, lost their sound Cracks in refinement, shattered sight, a symbol of hope that lost its light But amidst the broken pieces here, there's a lesson we hold dear Even when the candy cane breaks, the spirit of Christmas still awakes Broken candy canes, but hope remains In the midst of loss, we'll find a way through the cracks The light will shine in brokenness, love is wild
