I Will Kiss Your Scars

In times of need ... a true friend

I Will Kiss Your Scars

Your history has no relevance

I acknowledge you as you are

Bygone tribulation left wounds

But you survived harsh lessons

To rise up to be much stronger

Reading your heartfelt writings

Reveals subconscious sensitivity

With undercurrent vulnerabilities

Where wanders a confused spirit

Searching for true love’s rescue

As past betrayal created caution

You built an emotional partition

With fear as its foundation stone

Thus using reluctance as a shield

Deflecting any fresh relationships

So as your kindred friend I promise

To cloak your insecurities in smiles

Forever my soul support is primed

If you need to call on my assistance

I will kiss your scars until they heal

There was a time, not so many years ago, when this was exactly what I wished for, from a certain man in my life. But it's a tricky balance, being supportive of another person's healing gains, but not coming at this with a "fix her" approach. That's the perfect balance your words convey . . . this is how you stand by someone without assuming your assistance will be needed, just offering affection (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

great last line...and yes, we mustn't judge someone on the past...we learn from mistakes and we get better.
And if someone is scarred, that makes it harder to move forward...we need to lead them with our love and support.
