Summary: Prompted by a picture of my 18 month-old grand-daughter Poppy. Made this picture my profile picture temporarily to put poem in context




TIME WILL TELL
 
What's through there
What lies ahead
Can I get through 
Can I still my fear
 
Time will tell
 
Look. Find out
A mystery
You must. You can
Trust, Will, Question Doubt
 
But time will tell
 
It's dark, my shadow long 
Hold my hand
Help me through
Can I be strong 
 
Time will tell
 
It is light that shadow shows
Take my hand for now
I'll guide your way
From Trust Courage grows
 
But time will tell
 
I love you all
Please stay with me
Will you set me free
But lift me if I fall
 
Time will tell
 
We love you too
That will always be
Love's ties should not bind but
Be formed, re-formed anew

But time will tell
 
Will I remember you
When you're gone 
When I hold other tiny hands
Will the joy of now feel true
 
Time will tell
