Time Enough

Time enough for a field of candles

each one being a marker of sorts

for times past and moments lived;

of joys in success

and tears in failures

but mostly just the small​​ 

acts​​ of living each experience

all adding up to a long

gift of time;

a​​ gift more precious than

any other.

Time enough for the mellowing

and ripening of friendships

that only time together can bring.

Time enough for forgiveness

of errors. ​​ Time enough to ask.

Time enough to forgive myself

for not being what I assumed I would be

and​​ for​​ others who might feel​​ 

the same​​ way about me.

Time enough for​​ the​​ patching up

of hurts or at least letting them heal.

Time enough to make changes

Time enough to alter the course

Time enough for new chapters

Time enough.

Time enough.
