Poem Title:
Poem
It would take some time For me to see The way your pain Was haunting even me It would take some sorrow Some sadness too For me to realize That my love didn’t change you It would take some grief Sorrow and fear For me to let go of The feelings we’d shared It would take some worry Some stress and anxiety For me to finally come to A peace where I could rest It would take some years Some darkness and tears For me to finally accept the truth That my heart didn’t return to you It would take some mourning Some weeping and regret For me to dissolve the black That had been the color I felt It would take some anguish Some trouble within my soul For me to finally learn my lesson That my love wasn’t a cure all It would take some seasons Some living in a shell For me to finally give in to The assurance that I could love again It would take some joy Some affection from a heart so loving To find relief and comfort From the past that still wants to haunt me It would take some time But mostly I can say As the years have defined me The woman who still loves entirely With a heart that knows Love is the very best answer To the questions that bring doubt Worry and confusion Love is the breath from heaven Where my soul looks for blessings Sent to light up the darkness That pain and sorrow might cause me It would take some time… But over the years I’ve decided Love is the only way To seek God when I pray And reach out to others with faith That this love will always defend The heart so that it sings Songs of hope, faith and love Sent down from God above!
