April 2012...The Scar


The scar, an innocent reminder of a recent operation.
Purple, raised, angry, isolated on my skin.
A symbol of my inner self.
Unforgiving, proud, frustrated and alone.

The scar, an innocent reminder of change.
Pink, fading, smoothing gently into my skin.
A symbol of my inner self.
Forgiving, humble, reaching for the Hand that guides.

The scar, an innocent reminder of healing.
Silver, like the lining on a cloud, blending into my skin.
A symbol of my inner self.
Restored, faithful, following His righteous path.

The scar, an innocent reminder of salvation.
See His hands, His feet, His side.
A symbol of His love for us.
God's gift, His only begotten Son.
