Scars

I know there were nights I couldn’t fix Words I missed, moments slipped I know the road got rough sometimes And you felt the cracks in mine I wish I could’ve held it all together Shielded you from every storm But life doesn’t read the plans we make It just keeps moving on If I could rewind and do it clean I’d still be learning, still be me But hear this now, and hear it clear Every step I took, I took you here I may be broken, I may be flawed But you have my heart, all that I am It’s okay to fall, it’s okay to fail The strongest souls have scars to tell Stand back up, do it again I’ll be right here, till the end To my oldest, finding his way You’re stronger than you know today To my boys still growing fast Learning who you are from what you’ve passed And my girl with the fearless eyes You light the dark, you change the sky Each of you in your own way Makes me proud every single day I don’t need perfection from you Just honesty in what you do So hear this now, and hold it tight You don’t have to get it right You’re allowed to stumble, lose your ground That’s how real courage is found It’s okay to fall, it’s okay to fail Let the lessons leave their trail Learn, grow, become your best I’ll love you through all the rest I’m sorry for the weight you felt For the times I lost myself I’m learning too, I’m still in motion Trying to be better, trying to be open If my mistakes taught you anything true Let it be this, I believe in you You don’t owe the world a perfect plan Just show up as who you are Dream big, choose love, take the chance Life’s not clean, but it’s yours to dance It’s okay to fall, it’s okay to fail Every scar becomes a sail Carrying you where you’re meant to be A stronger, truer version of you Whatever you chase, wherever you roam You’ll always have a place called home I love you more than words can say All that I am… will always stay - Nick Tucker
