          They Say


THEY say, and they are they who know,
that time it conquers all,
it heals,
it soothes,
it helps to ease,
and possibly forget,

I say,
and I am only ME,
that though they know,
cuz they are they,
and dare not ask they how,
don't put all focus on that time,
or be sure you'll miss the now.

How is it that after your heart is ripped out, you feel so much?

I agree! ~ and like yourself, I often wonder who "THEY" are! Hmmmm! I just had a thought! You and I may be "THEY" to them! lol

Yeppers! Be in the now and live your life in the moment! ~ be it great or not so great!

Hugs to you and a big smiley face,

When I was younger I was always worrying what "they" said or thought; now it is they who worry about me.
Nice work.

Oh! That all familiar word "They"
THEY might not like the way I act.
THEY might be angry if I say that.
THEY might say something nasty behind my back if I do that.
"THEN" comes "DID YOU HEAR" what "THEY" did to the old car down the block?
Good jobber on this one.

Very nice. I got a little mind-tied when reading it, though.

If I were three and you were Two,
Would I be too odd for you?
