Notes About The Poem

Check out the song version of this, has the audio included.

Sometimes, It Just Takes Some Time

Sometimes, it just takes some time

Sometimes, 
we are born, with big dreams
Sometimes, 
we are born having none
Sometimes, 
we have to live, with our troubles
Sometimes, 
we do things, that can’t be undone

Sometimes, 
our hearts, may be broken
Sometimes, 
we find true peace and love
Sometimes, 
words are better left unspoken
Sometimes, 
you leave when you’ve had enough

Chorus
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
for all of your dreams to come true
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
to find the perfect one, meant for you
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
being apart ‘til the storm subsides
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
a little patience, while the future unwinds

Sometimes, 
the cards, we’ve been dealt with
don’t add up, 
and are just not enough
Sometimes, 
we’re anxious, and worry too much
Sometimes,
we’re blessed, with a tender touch


Sometimes, 
the money comes too easy
Sometimes, 
we may not have enough to eat
Sometimes, 
life throws us a curve ball
Sometimes, 
this life is bittersweet

Chorus
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
for all of your dreams to come true
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
to find the perfect one, meant for you
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
being apart ‘til the storm subsides
Sometimes, 
it just takes, some time
a little patience, while the future unwinds

Finale
Sometimes, it just takes, some time
a little patience, while the future unwinds
Sometimes, it just takes, some time
a little patience, while the future unwinds

Since you wrote this somewhat like a song, have you considered what genre of music it could possibly be sang in? I like this poem of yours.

Thanks Miranda, yeah this song is already recorded, it's kind of like Hootie and the blowfish, sort of a soft rock ballad, I'm just waiting for the go ahead to post the music for it!

Ahh, you are absolutely right, we just need to bare everything with patience and have trust in God, when the things are going our way, we should bow down and thank God, when the things are against us, just have patience that tje help is surely on the way, it was a really beautiful poem with a really deep message, good luck and have a really nice day
