Time 'Twill Mend

The long red line, ma'am, atop your hand
   a mere scratch, sir, time 'twill mend

That growth all swollen on your neck
   just a wart, infected a speck

O! you gasped and clutched your heart!
   ~ bled once, 'tis torment to restart

Interesting poem, Gershon. I have certainly felt some of these emotions with a damaged heart. Thanks for sharing.

I think I shared too much this afternoon, so I deleted the poem I spent most of the afternoon working on. You may or may not have read it. No comments, and I understood why.
