Time To Heal

Time to Heal
Warmth floods through me as peace descends.
Finally weekend has arrived
A time to relax and heal after a brutal week.
Cabin fever sets in. but laziness wins over.
I’ll stay home and curl up with the TV and dogs.
Waiting for a message or phone call that’s never going to materialise.
Sadness hugs my heart and loneliness lies beside me.
I pour a glass of wine and watch the ice sparkle
A false light that gives a cold warmth.

I am at peace with myself and God
A protective layer forms in the place of my heart
I won’t allow it to break again.
I can give but I won’t receive.
I can hold but won’t feel
I’ve grieved my past
I’ve grieved love and youth

Its my time now for peace
Its my time for contentment
Its my time for Jesus
Time that’s His alone
Warmth floods through me as peace descends.
Finally weekend has arrived
A time to relax and heal, a time to reflect on the past
A time to build a new future.
