Time can free us from the hurt.

It can make us feel free.

Time can give us hope and comfort.

It can be the key.




Time can numb your feelings,

until eventually you feel no more;

it makes you forget---leaving only memories;

takes away the baggage you once wore.




Time sometimes needs your help,

to opening your heart up to healing.

It needs your optimism and strength.

This makes the negative layers start peeling.




If you start to trust over time,

things will begin to shift.

See, you have to open your heart again,

realizing time is a gift.
