If Only Time Didnot Hurt

I’ve been told
“things work out for the best”
in that way each of us
Divinely blessed 

God in control they say – 
if only Time didn’t hurt…

I believe in life hereafter
I believe no wrong God
can’t have undone; someday
somehow our dear Lord to make 
all losses won --

God in control they say --
if only Time didn’t hurt…

God in control they say
though ticking I find unbearable
swinging pendulum a clank and 
clunk~ when a heart sunk
too deep one’s despair...yet I
am told, God is always
fair – always there – somewhere 
taking loving care

God in control they say -- 
if only Time didn’t hurt...

No theologian am I
just a common soul, treading, adrift; 
questioning if sane to trust in fate -- 
dialogues with God sounding always
one sided debate -- 

I believe in love
while more questioning 
my faith

God in control they say
your silence pushing me 
further astray -- 
if only Time didn’t hurt...

If only Time didn’t hurt…

If only Time didn’t hurt….
