Mending Ways

When times stands still

We move so quickly to try and catch up

On moments, hours that we’ve lost

A part of you breaks a little more every day

Dying a slow, gradual death

What was old, being made new


And a life that had started small continues to grow

The heart beating more strongly with every sting

The beatings and scars transforming the image

Like a great wheel pressing the grapes

To produce sweet wine


It is a legacy of pain

Of change

Of loss…

And yet of renewal

Of hope

Of love


Time cannot mend all wounds

It cannot heal all hearts

But it can teach and instruct

It can build a heart if wisdom

We can learn from the history of defeat

So in defeat lies the true victory

Not progress for progress sake

Progress for love's sake

For the sake of a deeper call
