My Poem (A purpose, a way of life, a ray of hope)

Stitches;
One complete movement of a threaded needle through a fabric or material,
A sense of wholeness in a place that feels broken,
Healing; full of love,
A lifeline,
A purpose, a way of life, a ray of hope,
Stitches, leave scars and heal with time.
