One of Those Code of Conduct Lessons

Listening to:
Thinking of:

Each scar tells a story,
each one a distinct tale
Battle wounds of sort
Some of good fortune
Others of woe

Perhaps they're apparent,
Some stories to be made known
Some are private
In living memory do they reside

Taken in pride
or received in meekness
Scars don't fade
Scars don't stop

Yet all in all,
scars tell a story of healing
of hope and rejuvenation...
