Just a Little More Time…
Letting go is hard to do… so often we remain in the comfort of feelings from the past because it feels safer than facing the fear we have about the unknown path of our future. Unlocking our hearts, removing the barriers that protect us from the pain we have experienced in the past is a leap of faith. It is also the road to freedom:
Just a little more time
With a broken heart
For its shattered rhythm
To beat apart
Just a little more time
For the wounds to heal
For the scars to form
And start to feel
Just a little more time
With the walls in place
To protect from pain
And its cold embrace
Just a little more time
Until the light comes in
From the darkest night
Let the day begin
Just a little more time
Is fear’s best friend
The future’s promise
That the night won’t end
Just a little more time
Is the past’s desire
To fuel its flames
In the present’s fire
There is only one time
And in it we are whole
Our scars are the marks
Of our heart and soul
Tender reminders
That we live to love
And now is the time
To rise above
To let go of the past
Let the future remain
An unknown force
Of its own domain
The time is now
The moment is this
It’s the air’s caress
It’s the sunlight’s kiss
So take just a little more time
To enjoy right now.
