"Healing takes time"
  by 22dcentpoet


Healing Takes Time
In memory of Kenneth Dewayne Andrews




They say “God makes no mistakes”, and “Thy will be done”
Words not easily understood when you have a lost a son
Up to heaven we look for a peace of mind
Knowing in our hearts Healing will take time

With his infinite wisdom God has taken another angel to his home
One day he was with us laughing and joking, but now he is gone
Our prayers seem to go unanswered, we think this world so unkind
Be we know deep down in our hearts this Healing will take time

This pain we feel is unlike any other
The pain of a son taken from his mother
The joy when the doctor said he was all mine
We scream “Oh God Please Help Me”, He says “My child healing will take some time”

It seems we never had the chance to say goodbye
As we close the coffin lid we will have a good cry
We look to the heavens for just a sign
A sign to say he made it in, the clouds seem to wink and say “Healing takes time”

Healing takes time... I applaud your strength in writing this and bandaid your pain in suffering the same. All Angels go to Heaven... Think about that the next time you call out his name.

this is a beautiful piece. I truly felt your pain. My 'Lil Brother'.. Dear friend of mine was murdered @ age 20, trying to defend his sister. I am passing this on to his mother, in hopes it helps to ease her pain, if just a minute bit. Thank U for sharing... The healing is still taking its time, for me... and i kno from a Mom who has 2 boys, there would never b enough time. Good Luck., JAH BLESS
