"everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." - Confucious
 

all she could see were her scars-
painted perfectly upon her chest like
a reverie flowing to her sadness
 
scars are proof of pain and pain is
proof of sorrow,
no sorrow could compare to the 
anguish she held deep inside after 
the mastectomy-
slashes across her chest where her
breast used to be;
little lines from the staples that 
crisscrossed each other and lingered 
under her right arm-
she fought the fight of breast cancer
and it gave her strength but it also
brought loss of self-esteem,
she never thought she would face such
a tragedy at such a young age

he held her closely-
he laid his loyal head upon her chest 
and found beauty in her scars;
they represented the determination 
to fight this disease and she won-
there is something about those scars 
that gave him a sense of wonder,
she had been his saving grace and 
those scars were her saving grace;
they are a prime example of fire
scorching burns on her soul 
but
each burn created a miracle-
(the saving of a life)

disguised under each line from each 
incision lies a story-
each story tells a tale of triumph;
the chemotherapy and radiation just
weren’t enough,
this disease could have taken her life, 
and it did NOT-
instead, it gave her hope for a brand 
new fresh start with a future of joy, 
she could now carry on with her little 
family of three

see, everything can hold beauty if you
just have faith-
all the darkness has light and all the 
sorrow can be turned into gratitude;
the beautiful scars she wore were but 
marks of life force energy that gave 
her the gift of a vigorous life to live-
her courage revealed fortitude as she 
finally accepted her struggle with
death as a pathway to healing

everything has beauty, 
but her scars shined with 
BRAVERY
and 
VICTORY
