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 enjoyed the rhythm of this poem and the use of repetition. Time and Time Again.. and your title is very good. This poem with its questions really brings the reader in to meditate.

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
