A Scar

When I am old Sadly to say I found many wrinkles And senile plaques Scattered on my body But suddenly To my delight and astonishment I saw two scars Two childhood scars are fading away They have been ugly spots To be covered with long sleeves or pants One was bitten by a dog One was hurt by falling into a drain Each one carried a strange story And a childhood memory But now I have gathered Some scars in my heart Which cannot be overelooked During my career and marriage life I was bullied by some colleagues I was ill-treated by my sister-in-law Scars in the heart Though cannot be seen Will not fade away While scars in history Can be read in books Easily forgotten And sufferings continue Pity the young generations And our loved ones
