- Reflections On the Time -

Time an eternity sigh 
Take good care of the minutes 
The hour is 60 minutes 

Time when it's not too late 
Take some quiet time to be happy 
Time is the most precious thing we have 

Time does not heal all wounds, but the pain subsides 
Times are what we make of it 
Time is not a thief, it's a gift for you and me 

Time to remember, live for today 
The time to hope for tomorrow 
Things we wish we had done yesterday
 
Time is our best friend and our worst enemy
Time for laughter, tears, love and a hug 
Time is a symbol of all that exists 

              ...... A symbol of all that we have

full of wisdom like the poem of Demetrios Trifiatis. The 2 have one thing in common: they permit me to understand the other side of the question.

This is nice and profoundly written. I agree with you time can and doesn't heal all scars, pain remains too.............It just changes shape perhaps.

Hey You...time does not heal all wounds I agree, it's like fixing a broken mirror, the cracks are still there. Nicely written for something we never have enough of :)
