Calendars don’t darken details.

Clocks don’t swallow shame.

Midnight won’t erase memories.

Noon won’t save a name.

The past cannot hide affliction.

Future can’t heal pain.

Youth won’t bring about exodus.

Aging doesn’t break chains.

Time continues ‘round.

The sun and moon change.

Days continue forward,

but the Timekeeper remains the same.

Sorrow lies with darkness.

Disgrace leaves a stain.

Grief paves its own path,

but His love always makes a way.
