The Master of His Craft

From the Perspective of a Broken Man

By DeRon ScottPublished 8 years ago 1 min read
Fixing a broken machine

Wow.

What an honor.

To worship my creator.

Most machines get tossed aside

in a junk heap

Especially after all the malfunctions I've had

Many times where he should've left me

Broken, leaking,

Worthless piece of trash.

These gears stopped whirring

I had no heart

to even start stirring

the idea that I could

be useful to someone...

See, in my mind

I couldn't have a good creator, let alone

How could I connect to any kind of craftsman?

"How could you...

Why would you create me?

You know I malfunction

and leak oil

I can barely hold half of myself together!"

Yet he never fails to see me

and pick me up.

He brushes off the dirt and polishes me.

Every day, I'm given new bolts and screws

Then his son works with me

to get me to function properly

Again.

So now I can say wow.

In awe of a masterful maker

who rebuilds me as one of his own

How awesome it is

To be considered one of his

Masterpieces.

About the Creator

I write for my own benefits occasionally, but mostly for the closeness that I can bring to others who may be miles away.This is my purpose and I plan to follow through at the cost of my life. For me, that's how Truth is revealed.
