Emily Dickinson - They say that "Time assuages" --

They say that "Time assuages" --
Time never did assuage --
An actual suffering strengthens
As Sinews do, with age --

Time is a Test of Trouble --
But not a Remedy --
If such it prove, it prove too
There was no Malady --

Emily Dickenson understands the long term reality of a deep loss --- such as a loved one. One doesn't "get over it". Rather one gets stronger and can carry it. Today I am sharing this with a friend who just lost two brothers to cancer. Norm from United States Comment 1 of 2, added on April 16th, 2007 at 11:34 AM.
