Is It Time
Are you ready for forgiveness,
has that time finally come
You’ve done everything else in life,
holding back on just that one
Is it time to say “I’m sorry,”
for the hurt and pain you’ve caused
Is it time to shed false glory,
and end this dreadful pause
Is it time to try and reconnect,
with those loved ones that you left
Is it time your pride no longer hides,
behind the grandest theft
Are the tears then real for what’s gone by,
to which river do they flow
Has the time now come to stem the tide
—and let your feelings show
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
