Time can take everything that surrounds you
in less time than it takes to bat an eyelash.
I know it hurts.
Just look in my eyes
and I'll guide you.
Through this seemingly impassible juncture
that came upon you overnight.
Listen close
to what I say.
I will help you.
Take my words, and use them as you will.
They will heal you.
Never forget, but don't pity yourself.
This will change you.
Into a much stronger person than you were before.
Author notes
i am very sorry for your friends loss. i'll send out some prayes for them.

I love this too!! Many people would die to hear these words. Its enticing like a taste of something out of reach, a piece of heaven before being damned to an eternity in purgatory. Beauttiful.

wishing
This poem is the embodiment of the words that I wish were spoken to me many times over my life. Sadly, they never came.... As I read your poem I wish I could put it in a plaque or something for all to read when something shitty happens...as it happens all too often I am afraid. Thanks for writing this!
