To live each day and not forget <br />A day that has gone by, <br />To seek the answer that you get <br />From memory’s prisoned sigh - <br />For life goes on though life seem done <br />And deemed of little worth, <br />And one will wake when morn has come; <br />Her cycles plague the earth. <br />When spirit, stopped up in despair, <br />Would rend the very soul, <br />The heart that is too pained to care <br />Seeks refuge in the cold- <br />The anesthesia of the rock <br />Too heavy to be borne <br />Will wear off as the years go by <br />And lighter will become. <br />For even as the oceans <br />Will wear away a stone, <br />Time mellows the emotions <br />To help the pain be borne.<br /><br />Adeline Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-heals-4/
