Father Time

Time will heal a broken heart
or so they say, but how meany
times can one heart be broken
then survive?can time turn
back the hands of a clock?
to sunshine,smiles and
I love you's?
can father time step in
and work yet another
miracle of healing?
can time unlock the door?
or melt a heart that's froze?
and can time stand by me
just one more time?
can time bring back my laughter?
and the joy to be alive
and can I survive.. this time?
time! never enough time
always the wrong time
all kinds of time
but never a happy time
it takes time to make things
grow, it takes sunshine, rain
but take away the time, the sun
then give only the pain
then nothing grows
now replace the rain with tears..
there"s no time for me
no laughter, or sun only tears
of sadness of what's been done
time of heartbreak, time of woe
always time, but never the right time
so step in Father Time
I need you, one more time..
yet another time...
just one more time....

I hear your musings here, Doris, loud and clear! I wonder how many times I could call on Father Time to help heal wounds?! --Maybe I'd be accused of crying 'Wolf.' ~ Gershon Wolf
