Days of thanks

Can you be thankful for pain?
  pain which reminds you
You have come from a far way
  traveled over the ground
And back to visiting all that
  has made you, you
No regrets, just the proud
  strength of knowing
You have healed from things
  others think as breaking
You. Instead it is the crack
  which has pointed the
Way to strength, because
 breaking is not bad
Saying you have never broken
  is because there is no glaze
Strong enough to hold it together
  so instead of becoming a
New vessel you end up on the
  trash heap a wreak
And never know the beauty which
  is unlocked by the thin line
Of being thankful for the scar
  which creates the beauty
