Analysis of Time Heals

J. Scott Munro 1968 (New Westminster)



Time runs and runs
It never ends
It loves, it hurts
But always mends

Nothing can heal
Except for time
It's our destiny
Both yours and mine

About this poem

I wrote this about time healing when reflecting on losses and hurt in my life, including my best friend on this day back in 1993.
