The fragmented, withered heart
Lying,
In pieces of pain and death.....
Begins to plump,
Piece by piece.

Life and health suddenly returning
WIth joy and excitement at renewal;
Impatient
To make up for lost time.
Diligently reconnecting
As each piece is reborn~
This dying heart begins to heal.

As she heals.....
Huge scars appear and remain.
DISTRESS!
Reminder of the devestation!
Sign of disability,
Handicap,
Imperfection..

NO!
The scars
Are reminders of the struggle
To live beyond just surviving.....
And the victory of faith and determination.

IT CAN BE DONE!

Sometimes, scars are but
a well earned badge of honor
depending upon their placement...
