I wonder if they are ever fully healed? (K)

  when I first wrote the poem I used the word ‘fully’ instead of ‘nearly’ and that didn’t feel right or true… so I went back and changed it after posting it to the blog 🙂

My goodness! That must have been a big sigh to open such a wound. I usually figure those reopened wounds have had the scabs picked at!!

  Yeah… it was. I’m definitely a “sigh’er”, so to speak.
