About time

In time it will all be better, they say.
In time the pain will reside, they say.
In time things will go back to normal, they say.
They say words that float through the air and never reach my mind.

Problems come, problems go.
Times stops, time runs.
Fights start, fights end.
Days go, but I stay.
I stay in a time when I was unaware,
unaware of the dangers, when there was laughter without a care.

Enjoy the journey, they say.
Be grateful, they say.
Seize the day, they say.
They say those things and yet I don't listen, I pray.

I know where you are, it's clear to me know.
I'm still getting adjusted to this new way of being.
I feel you warming my heart when it gets cold,
I feel your peace in my heart when it's enraged,
I feel you cry when I need your help.
Don't fright, I'm well.

You taught me a very important lesson, you know?
To live selflessly, to lighten up, to get past the bumps on the road.
Trust in me to live as you wished,
To forgive others, to be strong.
Your love is with me as always it will be.
As you are not only my mother,
but a hero to me.
