The Task Master

THE TASK MASTER


THERE is a wheel in the garden 
  a garden where roads have 
traveled by love and tears.

There within the attic are
 toys whereby children have
grown -- grown to know how
to share and forgive enemies
who love the things they love.

And then there is the field
behind the house;  where often
what has been said is no longer
remembered but still felt:

    forgive you.  Do you forgive
me for hating you when you said
 what I cannot remember now?

    Yes.  A different time
but the heart always knows.

   And time is the task master
that never forgets.

  But then, we shall always 
     know.
