Sometimes we bend and sometimes we break.
Sometimes we lose part of who we were
But we all survive.

Branching out in a new direction.
Are we less than who we were?
Perhaps, but perhaps we are more

Filling the gaps of what once was
The scar is but a memory
Lost upon the years

The new becoming, of who we are
A passing memory of what once was;
Is only that.

We all get a few scars in our lives
But we heal, and live to tell about it
And we move forward...

------- Author's Notes -------

This was inspired by a special tree, Michael's Tree, that a large branch was lost from in the Hurricane.

Thinking about how life continues even after a hurricane. Yes, there is loss, sometimes horrible loss. But despite the loss we grow and learn to live again.
