They're Only Scars.

The teacher pulled out a wrapped present from his backpack, complete with a red bow.
"This," he begins, "this is forgiveness.  It is a gift."
The first-through-third-graders huddled around him, staring at it.
"Forgiveness?" asked one child quietly.  Since many of the kids were murmuring among themselves, no one really noticed him say anything except for me.  The teacher continued to explain forgiveness.
"It should be bright," the little boy went on.  "Forgiveness is always bright."
