NOVEMBER 10 SCARS

 

SCARS

See this tree?  You can see when it was young that it was wounded.  

The tree heals and the scar doesn't really look that noticeable.

However, the scar will always be there.  

The wound heals, but the scar remains.

As much as the scar wants to blend in - it just can't.

There will always be some affect from injury.

Interesting thought . . .

MISS M

M is just so close to walking.  She will take a few steps, but she just is not ready to go.  But that's okay. She will.  

She has most of her baby teeth and her mom will be taking her to the dentist for a check up.

Good Luck to the dentist. lol

She is a great eater.

She has a little pink riding toy that she LOVES.  Her grandma, my daughter, is her pusher!

Her hair matches her mom.

Her deep brown eyes match her daddies.

Her first word was daddy.

Next Hi.

Then mommy.

She shakes her head no.

She points to what she wants.

Make no mistake - you can tell what Miss M wants. 

Scars

Scars tell a story 
Of a life that has been lived
That's dreamt of a tomorrow 
After all the **** is sieved

Scars provide some clues
Of what you had to face
Damage to the body
Forever leaves its trace

Scars of the mind
More difficult to tell
Hide behind the smiles
Of living after hell 

If only we would recognise
That scars signify health
They would be held in high regard
More valuable than wealth

For they map our survival
Humankind's desire
To overcome all obstacles 
And something to admire
