Poem, Time Passing: This poem has quite a history...When I was about 17 years old, on my way by train to visit a friend, I wrote a poem called, "Time Heals All Wounds". There wasn't anything going on negatively in my life at the time, I just remember feeling reflective about how time was passing by, and how time changes so much. Well today, at this time in my life, over 20 years later, I was re-reading this poem...and I felt compelled to modify it. I added a theme that I learned only by growing older (or should I say "maturing"). That is, that of course, yes, everything changes as time goes by, but more importantly it's our life lessons that we absorb from time..or in some cases, don't absorb, at which point we are left spinning our wheels and repeating the same mistakes. So this poem is my maturing lesson of "Times Gift"..(lets hope :) Home Page Bookmark this Page to Come Back Later Poetry Contest Here Times Gift Written by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyrighted. Time heals Promising closure Shrinking scars like popping bubbles As it prepares our gift Times benefaction is objectivity to our past Building an awareness of yesteryears Defogging our vision for truth Generously donating our package of clarity Time lies only to those who misuse its precious moments, Lines entrenched on our face can devour redeemable blemishes By gracefully accepting our package healing eyes can widen to witness dissipating mist Time promises blessed tomorrows Let us put away our spinning wheels plunge forward with our lesson accept our bequest from Time, and yes! We will have morning smiles Wishing you well, Barb Find your peace and find your place in this world Smile even when it hurts Complete your lifes plan See the beauty around you, it's plentiful You'll find it in the smallest things and always remember, you are loved Buy at AllPosters.com
