Through the Years

Through the years
I have learned many things
I have learned that rescue
Isn't a love that remains

I have learned that honor
Carries a heavy price to pay
I have learned that doing right
Has cost me in many ways.

Through the years
I have remained where
I am least happy to be
Please God set me free.

Through the years
I have done the right thing
I have been there and remained
For my kids' sake  

Through the years
I needed to know
When is it my time to know
Joy, happiness, and laughter

Through the years
I have always searched
I always wanted to feel
That it's ok to move on.

Through the years
I have lived in a war zone
The 38th parallel of life
We meet in the middle

Through the years
I sought to work it out
To find that love that is lost
And yet, we just coexist

Through the years
I have often wondered
Does till death do you part
Mean dying an emotional death.

Through the years
I wonder why I staid
In such a pain filled state
Just trying to muddle through

Through the years
I surmised that it
Must be lack of guts
To make the big break

and through the years, I have often wondered how time can fly by so fast when each day drags by in misery...I'm with you "start"--
and I am just figuring out as well, that no decision is a decision in itself...thanks for sharing this!

Serenity:

Yes, no decision is a decision in and of itself. Now I know in order to survive I must choose. I will have an empty nest next June.  

Thanks
