This scar
like a smile
Stretches across my abdomen
grateful
etched into my memory
The fabric of my being
Time goes by
I missed it
Lots has happened
the pandemic
war in Ukraine
Protests in Iran
and
Earthquakes
news
And I have this
this scar
It looks like a smile
it stretches
across my abdomen
Makes me laugh
Amidst all the chaos
It spoke
'Love' and 'life'
'Life chooses you'
Not the other way around.
And I accepted
How lucky and grateful
I am
