the dead don’t have scars

we complain about our scars
the bags under our eyes
the wrinkles, the crows feet
the white hairs only our heads
the things we carry
in this journey of faith
but we should remember
that the dead don’t have scars
their bodies have left them
the scars we carry to remind us in life
of the blessing of healing
from the one who knows us
God’s healing to the living
while we walk the earth.
