BUMP....three years on I have reread and STILL think this is one of the better poems I have ever read, not just here on Mels, but in general, at large.
Cindy T... you might be the only only around who has not read this before so this BUMP is for you.

Noni, thank you so much for this bump up... you were right, I had not seen it before.
AE, your words are so wonderful.... they made me think of my Mom, gone from the world for three years now. She is the strongest person I have ever known. She had severe triple scoliosis of the spine from polio. When she was a teen she had experimental surgery. The doctor fused her entire spine with a bone matrix made from bone harvested from her shin. All her life she suffered with tremendous pain and many other devastating health issues. One thing I saw her do was cut a person, a friend, out of her life if she ever believed they pitied her in any way. She never let the abundant scars on her body touch her soul.
The leading character of your poem shows wisdom, strength and courage to her friend who is struggling to keep her scars from marring her soul.
Thank you ae for this gem!
