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 2/27/14

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
