by René Gonsalves

I know there will be times in your life

when you will be traveling through the valleys of pain and hurt

 

Don’t fret, my friend.

 

As time goes on, so will the problems

but they will soon disappear.

 

Remember time heals all

the open wound becomes a minor bruise, in time

and bruises fade, in time.

 

Life is not something easily understood,

but neither is death

 

We all must realize we are placed here on this earth for a reason and a purpose,

and if that purpose is to hurt through life,

rest assured the next life to come will not know any pain,

no sorrow,

no emptiness,

there will be no cause.

 

It is not to say when life is happy and enjoyable

the hereafter will not be as such but,

 

Don’t get caught up in things which will be of no essence.

 

Hold fast to the good you may find in all things

for in the end you will heal,

no salt will be added to the wound,

only soothing ointment,

but in time,  only in time.

  

Time = Jesus.
