The Fine Dinner Glass

The fine dinner glass went missing one night
She was a unique piece, a beautiful sight
We went back and looked and looked and looked
It was just gone:  no one said they took it
The fine dinner glass has a perfect mate
When he heard the news it was too late
He fell, broken inside, wept, wondered, 
                                         hoped and prayed
Somebody somewhere knows something
                                         about his mate

The glasses are a set:  they're meant to be together
Hopefully one was just misplaced, a phase of bad weather
In the mean time, God holds the remaining glass in His hands
It's a comfort to know the Prince of Peace:  He understands

       The peace and comfort that comes during mourning
           is a blessing from Jesus Himself: he understands the pouring
