~TIME~

Time can be measured
By minutes we know
But time can also be measured
When a heart has a hold

Of things we want
To remember in our souls
Memories that are good
In a heart can be stored

I have had time now
To learn many things
Of how wonderful it is
To see the first day of spring

Or sit and watch
A sunset in fall
Enjoying the beauty
Of the wonder of all

I once could not enjoy
These little things
When my heart was broken
And tears would bring

Memories of time
When my child was here
Living life with me
For a few short years

But time has given me
Insight to know
That as the years pass
I've learned to go slow

I've had all this time
To learn how to cope
And find some kind of healing
When I was at the end of my rope

I once never thought
That I would ever care
About beauty around me
But now I can share

And tell you that time
Brings all these things
That time has allowed me
To see once again

I now sit and enjoy
the crisp winter days
Remembering when we were together
In so many ways

I now look at summer
And smile as my heart smiles
Remember the things we did
For just a short while

For time has helped me
Since God called my child to Him
In my heart he'll always be
Until we're together again
