It Takes Time to Heal
Ted Hibbard

It takes time to heal.
Build a bridge
from now to tomorrow.
Sink the piers
deep into the Earth
Pour in concrete
day by day
a little at a time
and let it set.

It takes time to heal.
It may feel very awkward
as if you're making empty promises
as if you're simply spanning empty space.

But someday, somehow, somewhere
you'll find yourself
upon a brand new shore
glancing back at the bridge
which you alone have built.

It takes time to heal.
