Beautiful Imperfection (Imago Thursday)

there will come a day my friend

when time will seem to stand still

opening new gates of opportunities

for all those goals you spent

countless hours pondering over

and to achieve all you have

not yet discovered

 

there will come a day my friend

when thinking of your life

will bring happiness and hope

for whatever unknown lies ahead

and you will hold within your heart

the feeling you have longed for

and belief that you have

lived the days of your life

to their fullest

 

there will come a day my friend

when distress and pain

will become nothing more than

fancy pictures held captive

within the frame of your mind

within your reach and control

 

there will come a day my friend

when people will see

beyond the past

that now clouds their vision

into the innocent eyes

of a caring person

and listen with a nonjudgmental ear

to the truth that has

been so blankly distorted

in time sore wounds will heal

and contentment will fill

the empty gaps in your spirit with sweet serenity

mending all that has been tattered

 

because I know my friend

there will come a day....
