Notes About The Poem

11/15/2024 for Glenn Hughes Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori

Time is the Healer

Inspired by Time is the Healer by Glenn Hughes

It's an old expression.
Time heals every wound.
It's not an easy lesson
when you've been marooned.

It's an old expression.
A watched pot won't boil,
and your depression
won't lift or uncoil. 

Time is the healer.
Don't worry about "when".
Pretty soon we'll see yer
back on your feet again.
