Time is a healer, a teacher, a friend

Time is a healer, a teacher, a friend

A Poem by Jack...
"

Patiently wait, it will get better

"

 

 

Time is a healer, a teacher,

a friend

 

Time is a healer, a teacher, a friend

Slowly it passes on by

Moments then hours ahead for to see

Allowing us time we can cry

 

Casting our thoughts like a stone on the lake

Watching the ripples appear

Circular motions so silently flow

Till in the end it is clear

 

So many questions, our mind ever filled

Who brings the answers this day

How long will time let these feelings go on

Why won’t it move them away

 

Lost are the minutes of times long ago

Memories locked deep inside

Cherished these moments, we feel so alone

Longing to just run and hide

 

Emptiness lives in this heart that we share

Nothing is ever the same

Staring at heaven and hollering so

Endless our words seem in vain

 

Still the clock moves as the second hand sweeps

Never to find but the end

What will become of the future that waits

What is the message to send

 

Time is a healer, a teacher, a friend

Take every minute you need

I will be waiting, that you can depend

Hold tight my hand, I will lead

 

I have no answers, just comforting words

As your eyes glaze of the view

So if you need me just call out my name

All that I am is for you

Everything in life is controlled by time..... a timely birth contrasted with an untimely death. Your words of wisdom written in this marvelous poem tells us that 'time' doesn't stand still for no-one.

Time is all these things: teacher, healer, friend. But it is also an enemy, a thief, taking away what we love...
