&quot;It has been said, &#039;time heals all wounds.&#039; I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.&quot; <br /> ~ Rose Kennedy

Like a rowboat, She floats on the water’s brim.
The cold clear surface stings the burning ache.
But my heart, of lost love, is broken.
Glowing candles surround Her dark narrow frame.
And death, till death do us part,
Is parted at last.
