                   Time

What is time - - - a measure of space?
Does it calculate minutes,
      what is the case?
I have been told that time can
       heal a broken heart.
How much time is needed?
     A year, a month, a day?
How do you soften a heart
     that may have turned to stone or clay?

Is time a drug or herb?
Is it a loving touch or a great big hug?

I've been told that true love will come in time.
"Just give it a chance -- open your heart --
stop to smell the roses, listen and
   hear the bells chime."

So my question is, "How much time is need to be
     happy -- to climb that wonderful mountain to
     love and peace of mind?"

Really, do you know the answer?  What is time?

Does time heal a broken heart? I don't know the answer to that one. How much time does it take to be happy? I don't know that answer either. I do know that when love breaks your heart, it helps to write about it and have good friends to help you through it.

I liked the thoughts in your poem

ah, I love this, my dear friend!  I have often asked myself 'what is time?', and now I know that it is the thing that passes so slowly when one is waiting!  Encore!!!!!!!

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

Time is our most precious commodity...no one is guaranteed a specific amount of time...we can use it wisely or waste it...our choice and our legacy...James

Time itself is endless but what we do with our own personal time is the key to happiness.....If there's a chance to love someone, then love, or forever won't miss your time.  Time is now and love is now and may the two meet in time.  Time is something to take like a tonic and enjoy.  Time is an ointment for healing and a preparation for the future............Love will always come in time!

I know that time is never on our side. You've made us stop and think for a moment....a moment in time...

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Tracey:  You are right on target - if you have friends to help you through your problems, you can conquer anything and I have found many friends here on "Passions".  Thank you for your reply.

Marge: (Or should I say my fellow Floridian)  Thanks for stopping by.  I have enjoyed many of your writings and I appreciate your comments.

Voiceless:  You are right - no one does know.  Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

Sunnyone:  Hey Sis - time has a way of creeping or speeding right by you and before you know it, you are left behind.  I am peddling fast and furious to keep up. Thank you for your kind words!

JamesMichael;  I wish I did have a guarantee on time and how much more I have left in life.  I plan on using it wisely - thank you for your most kind words and for stopping by.

ethome: I plan on taking the bull by the horns and finding happiness.  It is out there and I am going to find it.  You are right:  time is an ointment for healing!  Very wise words.  Thank you.

Ariana - time is a healer of wounds, your heart is the healer of your being... Two broken hearts will never heal completely, as there will always be the space there for the memories...
