Firefighter

you wear skin but it doesn't fit not even when you grow a bit it's tangled, battle-worn frazzled and fringed mangled and torn you wonder, if you're caught by fire will it burn you whole will you survive within you are a tree hollow heart scars so deep but roots so strong that wait for rain and sprout in spring Darren White, October 18 2018

Wow this was very deep in thought my friend. But, read your words...heed your words...you are a tree and though the scars may run deep, those roots are strong to hold you throughout everything. Keep smiling and it is so nice to see you have posted one to share with us all.
