It Takes Time To Heal
Ted Hibbard
It takes time to heal.
Build a bridge
from now to tomorrow.
Sink the piers
deep into the Earth.
Pour in concrete
day by day,
a little at a time,
and let it set.
It takes time to heal.
It may feel very awkward,
as if you’re making empty promises,
as if you’re simply spanning empty space.
But someday, somehow, somewhere,
you’ll find yourself
upon a brand new shore,
glancing back at the bridge
which you alone have built.
It takes time to heal.
Consider this: What do you need time to heal from?
Thanks for this reminder. I am trying to rush healing from losses and adjusting to new life circumstances. Patience is not one of my virtues! I so enjoy your weekly Moments. Thank you!
