When Time Won’t Heal
Cause sorrow won’t take a break
I promised ’cause she asked,
through tears, I wouldn’t break.
Somehow, survive her loss,
the sad and angry ache.
But prepared, I never was
for just how long it’d take.

As always, thanks to our hosts, Kathy Jacobs and me (🙃), and the rest of the talented Chalkboard team!
And now, Miranda Lambert sings the too-much-fun, “Mama’s Broken Heart,” which is purposefully at the other end of the emotional spectrum from my poem!
