Time Can Heal anything

Thank you father
Love in a life (pt1)



Thank you father, father time
you lent expression to my rhyme
Thank you father for your crutch,
and your comfort and your touch
Thank you for enabling days
for calm deduction through the haze
Thank you for the self-reflection,
guiding hand and mind protection



And for the way I’ve been of late?
You’re thanked again with each new date
Your thanked for holding both my hands
and making precious few demands
For never wanting anything for
memories that reveal the spring
I thank you father, father time
thought still I wish that she was mine.

This poem is beautifully written. You have expressed life and love as well as the grief for loss of someone dear to you. The picture speaks more then one Thousand words.

Very profound write...Thank you...Zuzanna
