My Turn

2 September 2012

It's amazing how a heart,

When it seems it should have closed,

Can open up new doorways

Leading to new roads.

When Pain and Anguish tread

Upon the ones before

Hope and Love requite

Where hurt was evermore.

A cold shoulder you turned,

But one had sat in wait

I thought recovery was unattained,

But someone breached my hate.

Although times it all comes back

And hard memories return,

I remember what I have now,

I'm glad I waited my turn.
