What a beautiful and true poem…
In the end
if my hands and heart are scarred
then know I’ve fared well
for each scar is a memory, a medal of honor
for challenges defeated, battles won
and lessons learned
In the end I will not be pure
pure like mountain streams born of snowmelt
for purity is a lack of experience
and I am the stream when it makes the delta
a thousand miles from home
depositing my silt into the ocean of the universe
Thanks, dude. I bet he appreciated it!
