Healing Begins after the tears

Have dried in the breeze of forgiveness

Healing only begins, After the last tears have been shed, After the wound has been cleaned, After the pain has begun to ease, After the balm has been applied. Healing only begins, When the anger has died down, When the mind has quietened, When the air has been cleared, When the door to anger has closed, When the breeze of forgiveness blows. Healing begins after the teardrops, Have fallen on the soft yielding earth, After the water of mercy has been poured, After the hands of charity have been opened, After the wound has begun to heal, After the pain has lessened, The scab begins to peel. Healing only begins, When the heart is opened to feel, The waters of forgiveness flow, The wound begins to finally heal
