Does time heal all wounds? Perhaps if not in this life for sure in the next, however this does not mean they will not be vulnerable to being opened again. For me I am grateful that a Power greater than myself led me to take 12 Steps and find Traditional Healing, and although I am still vulneralbe and open to feeling damage old, new, and reopened I can take "Just a Moment" and it need not control my life. Perhaps It's Time??

“Just a Moment”

Even as a child I seldom felt content always so focused on what I expected next,

A pattern established of moments lost amidst feelings of only anxiety and regret.

I just couldn’t wait for what I perceived would make me feel at peace and serene,

So much wasted time spent missing available moments while lost in an unrealistic dream.

As time has gone by, seldom feeling to be on my side,

My will and hopes too often dashed and sometimes I cried.

I missed many a rose, so full of anxiety and fear,

So many messages missed not felt in my soul, the white noise shutting out all I needed to hear.

So it seems as I have aged there was never enough time in a day,

Too live my life according to my will and do it my way.

I didn’t understand until frozen in time,

My soul if I free it, will seek more than a fine wine.

It was never living my will for my life that would bring me peace and serenity,

Accepting God’s will and His gift of gratitude will bring with it, “Just a Moment”, of bliss and I am present for all of eternity.
