When Time Fails

It snowed a lot in Huntsville a couple of days ago. As people try to get out and about again, accidents are occuring. The sound of sirens blaze through the air as ambulance and police try to make their way to help others through the city. As I was outside walking my dogs, I saw an ambulance roll through our neighborhood. Months ago that would have sent me into an emotional episode, remembering the ambulance that brought my son to the hospital the day he passed away. Today I am calm, and I am really okay. Not just saying I'm okay because I know that's what people need to hear, but really okay and healing well. I thank God for where He has brought me and where He is taking me this year. He has done what time couldn't do. When I thought about the time I would have to spend separated from my baby boy, it made healing seem impossible. But when I thought and still think on the goodness of Jesus and what He's done for me, I know I can do all things. I was inspired to write this short poem:

When Time Fails
As sirens blaze I remember the pain I felt the day I lost you.
Today I sit in sure amazement from the healing God has brought us.
They say that time heals all wounds, but time can sometimes fail.
I'm thankful that what time can't do Jesus did and prevailed.
By His stripes we are healed from all pain, sickness, and disease.
Because of the work He's done in my life, I can sit and remember thee.
Without feeling the hurt, anguish, and pain I felt some time ago.
I rest assured knowing where you are one day I will go.
Until that day, I live each moment thankful for the time
we spent together here on earth with memories sublime.
