The Healing of a Wounded Creature

They come in all shapes and sizes, large and small Just trying to get through this world, trying to survive But they all have one trait Beaten down to the ground, once stood tall Might be crawling, but still alive They crawl away and wait Wounds are licked, the scars will always be there Blood is lost, the war that will not die Once the hunted, now becomes the hunter Tables are turned, their dreams become a nightmare Tooth for a tooth, eye for a eye They were not made that way by nature The body weaken, the mind grows stronger Learning from past mistakes made Slowly waiting for that day The yesterdays have passed, now come the future So that they price will be paid Could well be Judgment Day What goes around, sooner or later comes around When the giver becomes the receiver That is how it is when life is the teacher When peace and tranquility are found Making the deceiver become a true believer And the healing of a wounded creature

This write is so true. The wounded of this world who have not worked through the wounds and reached healing are tragic. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara

I am a big believer in Karma. The things you do in life travel in a circle. Do good things good things return to you. Evil travels the same way. Excellent write and an enjoyable read. A. W.
