Time

by Jan Brooks

Time heals the wounds,
But always leaves a scar,
It’s a reminder,
Of who we really are.

Time helps the pain,
Until it eventually fades away,
Just a dull ache,
Is all that’s left every day.

Time heals the heart,
Stops the bleeding deep inside,
It beats again,
And lets us find that lost pride.

Time helps the soul,
Recover from the spiritual pain,
Builds the confidence,
And helps us learn to love again…
