Little by little

I often wonder why people always say, "Time heals all wounds."

Time has passed and the wounds are still as fresh as ever,                                                     as if time stood still.

I still feel the same pain, the same longing and the same emptiness                                         I felt the day you left.

Time only made me realize how to deal with the wounds, but it never                                       completely healed.

How??? by always thinking of you, by talking about you, by honoring you,                               by loving you, and by never, ever forgetting you.

So I want to say to those people that are left behind,

          "Time will help you ease the pain, little by little".....

About the Author
Pictured here are my Dad, Mr. Virgilio "Ver" V. Layco, Sr. and my youngest sister, Karen Layco Mitchell. Sadly, we lost them on Dec. 2011. Losing them both suddenly, one week apart, was so overwhelming that I needed something to release the pain I am feeling. I started writing my poems to express the sadness I've felt since they passed away. I hope you find some comfort and encouragement in reading them. *** Marizel Layco Beck ***
