Understanding

Understanding by Lanier Thomas Sitting by the campfire Under the burning stars I think of what my life Has brought to me in scars. I suddenly realize In the flickering glow These have brought true delight And it was only thus My soul was made aright And I am what I am.

Thank you for the encouragement. I'm glad you liked the poem. Too many see adversity as a bad thing, when in reality it can have a positive effect.
