Bruises

A Poem by Susanna F

Looking back, the past is sharp

Old pains vivid still

It seems the wounds won't ever heal

Though I know they will.

 

I didn't know it would take so long

I would have just stayed home

Too many lessons learned by knocks

Too far I had to roam.

 

I am a mass of bruises now

Inside - it doesn't show

Though tender, my heart still beats on

And I still learn and grow.

 

These bruises I'm not proud of

With wisdom comes some shame

But I have been forgiven

And I'll never be the same.

 

My heart is much more tender now

My sympathy more real

Perhaps the pain of bruises

Teaches us to really feel.
