God constantly puts me on the operating table,
Because there is always work to be done.
It's painful when he tears open my soul,
But this will help me in the long run.
He wants me to change on my own free will,
But guides me through and through.
He stops and takes me back a step,
If I miss a stitch or two.
He takes me through therapy,
A chance to remember why life is good.
And even though I may question it sometimes,
He reminds me why I should.
Tears will come even after the pain,
That's why God keeps a few jars.
But if there is one thing I have learned most,
Is that pain leaves beautiful scars.
