A Year Ago- a poem

—- in honor of John 2021

Time will pass and pain will lessen. How much time? No one knows. Even when time has started to heal, the wound is still there, and we can feel it. You must give yourself time.

After a while, the scar remains, but we seem to carry it as a badge of honor. Being proud of the time we had. As the saying goes, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” (Dr Seuss)

I’m finally beginning to smile.
