Time

Time has thrown me a curveball

Things I thought I knew for sure

Now lie shaken in the past

Things I thought inconceivable

Are now my reality

I’ve broken hearts and I’ve had mine broken

I’ve learned lessons and have some still yet to learn

Life isn’t gentle

Life is a journey whose path is rarely smooth

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

But time mends

Takes to stitching the strings of my heart back together

Though I know there will be scars

Who am I to not try and let them heal?

I will love myself for who I am

Not for who people say I should be

I will be kind to others

I will elevate not demean

Then I will learn to let others love me

To know that when they place their hands upon me

It will be through love and trust

That they see all of me

That I am accepted

My heart will be lifted

I will shine

And help others understand time

The greatest of all healers
