Old Wounds

Old wounds
Left to bleed
Kept uncovered
So they won’t recede

We scratch off the scabs
Leave them on display
We can’t face the healing
The long journey of pain

Let them be washed
And bound up with love
Let recovery take place
Receive hope from above

Writing has been my joy since I was a child – reconnecting with it as an adult has been the best choice I ever made
