Healing Word Poem by Linda Engwall

Healing Word



On my journey of this precious life
I am seeking wisdom to understand
Coming back time and again to this one word that alludes me
Healing

What am I to take from it
Not understanding how this apply to my life now
Having thought I had already forgiven them
those who shaped who I am today
why does this word keep coming back to me

As you get older you come to accept that they
Did the best they could with what they were given
You learn that if you keep holding on to what they did,
What they did not do, you will forever play the victim

So you try to join together the logical mind with the heart
Melting them together so you can finally be at peace
Forgiving them for they really could not have know the depths of their mistakes
How this would manifest in this little child

I tell you this is a hard one to master
At one point I believed that time would heal it
And no words needed to be spoken
Then I thought no you need to know what you did
Still it did not give me my peace

Does the journey continue until it comes to me
Or will I forever be chasing this wisdom I seek
Healing the soul from mistakes made so long ago
