Vandyke Buckner Poet Quatrain

Scars

We all learn from our mistakes 
We're all shaped by things  from our past
We may not remember them all 
But we'll never forget our scars

They shape and mold us for tomorrow 
They give us life long memories
The bitter truth and harsh remedies 
Some by friends who turned enemies 

Nevertheless I'll hold each scar dearly 
Because they made me the man I am today 
I say a prayer for scared victims sincerely
As I also encourage them to pray 

A thousand miles starts with a step 
And a million starts from one 
So I did nothing that I'll ever regret 
Because they're all for the greater plan.
