Some people strive to make it through life With no cuts or bruises NOT ME I'm proud of each and every scar I bear Oh dont get me wrong I could have lived Without the pain But you cant truly live if you never know pain You cant have happiness if you've never known tears So I wear my scars proudly and someday you'll see I'll find a man who understands The beauty in these scars |

My bets go on you as I have no doubts that you will find that love. Wonderful write from you and so true. You can't truely know love if you have never felt the pain. Happy Holidays to you. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Yes, I have to agree Paula some of the pain that causes scars makes one more aware of the good things love has to offer..and it truly does if it's worked at properly...take care ......ethome |

Paula, couldn't we all have lived without the pain. I'm glad you wrote this, and it's a good write to boot. Write on, be strong Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

There is a lot of wisdom in these verses...life is a balance of pain and good. You can't have one without the other. |

Very nicely done, each scar and chisel stroke defines us. Each of us is the sum of experiences. Gloom |
