Time, Patience, and Faith
Time, Patience, and Faith
Time is good.
It puts distance between the pain and the source of that pain.
Patience is good.
It gives time the chance to heal the damage that has been done.
Faith is great.
It gives us strength and hope while we patiently wait for time to heal.

About this poem
I am sure that this was something that came to me while thinking about someone who needed some words of support in their life. Sometimes these moments come to me, almost always while driving. This one surprised me and now I do not remember how I was able to craft a cascading type of poem like this.
