Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Our Time

Time heals all wounds
Time heals all sorrows
Time comes and time goes
When it is our time-- no one knows

We live and then we die
We are born into this world
Then we leave it again
When it is our time-- no one knows

Some go young while others grow old
Some go fast and some go slow
Some are in good health, others not
When it is our time-- no one knows

Some are lost in war
Some are lost at sea
Some are lost in this world
When it is our time-- no one knows

We should live for each day
We should love and we should play
 We do not come this way, again
When it is our time-- it will be our day

Lucilla Carrillo March 29, 2014 at 10:53 AM Phylis; I could not agree with you more. This is so true. Some people suffer a lot before they go and others go fast. My mom was 3 years in the hospital, before she passed away. She could not talk and her legs had been cut off. For us it was very hard. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem... Lucilla
