Stairway To Recovery
~*Marge Tindal*~

I stepped over the hurt
that led me away from loving you
As I splashed through the teardrops
I found myself side-stepping
the good memories that you had bruised
Angrily I stomped through the pain
praying it would splash from me to you~

I glimpsed forgiveness laying there before me
on the steps that lead me away from loving you
I could not pick it up to give to you just yet
maybe in time ... maybe never~

For now, I'll continue my staircase descent,
on the stairway that leads me away from loving you
From The-Lord-Of-My-Knowing
I have summoned the strength and the will
to turn ... and bound upward
on the stairway to new joy

definitely without you~

~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~

Oh, Marge. I felt the power, the conviction, the strength, the faith, and the courage in your words. A phenomenal piece of writing. I felt it to my very core. God bless you.

Wrapping you in love,
Linda

Even through the obvious pain of this, I can't help but smile at the strength of you.

Yet another warrior *chest thump*

My heart to yours.

Marge/sis....You wear determination well and walk arm in arm with the strength that has always been yours.  In time that will bring you forgiveness.  I love this poem, and you!

Dear Marge, though your words convey immense pain, I am sure your wisdom, your generous heart and soul consciousness will give you the strength to forgive and then to climb the stairway to full recovery with determination and lightness, towards the all embracing divine healing light.

Good to find you back posting, dear Marge. Be well!
God bless.

Love and hugs.
Margherita
