Scars

Annie R. posted an article on - Sep 26, 2011, 2:27 pm
She wears her scars with honor No beauty there No flowers of fragrant grace No sunshine memories airborne and beaming Her pennant colored by each criticism That reduced her size bit by bit The stains left by tears for her father Tattoo her heart. Copyright 2011

Moments of silence Names look out from walls Survivors reflected in rushing water Words of remembrance… It does not bring them back But it helps to keep them close May we always remember May we never forget Copyright 2011
