Father Of Time

Something about time puzzles me
** What puzzles you, my daughter so beautiful

For in healing it goes so slow.
** I know there are times when you are feeling so low

No matter how many years pass by
** If you knew how many you might not wish to go on

There are things that wont let go.
** Healing takes time but there are things you must know

To a child burdened with suffering
** Yes, you and so many others

It seems that time stands still.
** Did you ever think that it is God's will

Why must it go on endlessly
** Maybe because through our pain

For a heart and soul to heal?
** You can empathize with others that hurt and you can help them regardless even if your soul seems still

Why must one go all their life
** We must bear witness to our pain

With repercussions from grown up ways?
** We were children and never realized the pain we would forever pay

Is there no mercy over time
** Someday when we finished our time in hell

For the nightmares to go away?
** We'll be in Heaven with God to stay

It just doesn't seem right to me
** No, it never does to a child

That a victim of unjust abuse
** Yes, but there is never a just excuse

Would be the one to carry the pain
** Only our Creator knows why

In search of the strength to break loose.
** Maybe we can show the true meaning of love because of our abuse

I cannot help but wonder
** Please wonder my child

If the perpetrator of such a crime
** Will he/she ever do their just time

Ever thinks of the pain deep seeded
** Who knows, surely not we

Into the depths of another's mind.
** We will all eventually know through God's time line

I wonder when they close their eyes
** Maybe that is why they can not sleep at night

Can they see a Childs face.
** I am sure they can until the light of day

Do they even have a faded memory
** Faded memory, I think not

They wish they could erase?
** Their horrible memories are forever, here to stay
Did time allow them freedom from guilt?
** No, not at all

Were they afflicted with the burden of shame?
** Yes, but they never will admit one and the same

Were they able somehow to justify
** I'm sure they probably have tried over the years

Never feeling a moments blame?
** Their guilt will never allow them to lose their pain

Must I carry this cross forever?
** No, darling daughter, that you must not

Shadows of another's transgressions.
** They belong to them, certainly not you

Will there come a time in my life
** I certainly hope so my angel from God

I no longer feel so over burdened?
** The time will come when you are no longer burdened and blue

They say that time heals all things
** Heal? No but can be made friends with

No matter how small or great.
** Maybe this was our hand in life our fate

I humbly ask of you Father of Time
** Please, ask my lovely daughter

How much longer must I wait?
** Let it go now, life is short why wait
