IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME
When grief looms over like a cloud,
and your heart gets broken,
and your spirit’s down,
it all seems like happiness
is but a distant dream,
and it loses its meaning
where it cannot be seen.
And we are lost where it’s dark,
without a song in our hearts,
and we couldn’t believe
it would all pass away.
If we could only hold on to a rhyme,
which could make us remember the light,
then morning might not be so far away,
IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
If we could imagine once more,
what joys are instore
with the rising of another day;
if we could only hear again
that gentle voice in the wind
reminding us that dawn is already near –
won’t we break out into songs
and cheer each other on
and say IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME?
Won’t we be able to bear
the darkness we are in,
knowing it couldn’t help but end
and IT’S JUST A MATTER OF WHEN!
And though the dawn is yet to come,
and the night is yet to end,
though our pain still lingers,
and our wounds are yet to heal,
we rejoice with our hopes,
as though they’ve already come,
certain that our prayers were heard
and IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

One reply on “It’s Just a Matter of Time”
We are so full of questions and curious until we are beyond frustrated and discouraged; the world has not change we have changed our view to one of dismal existence. When in the dumps it is often difficult to see that WE have a choice how to perceive everything yet often the choice is to focus on the negative rather than seek balance. Yes there are those who focus on the positive Yet see no balance and their fall is as hard. This planet has a sunrise and sunset, light and dark in balance.
