Path now chosen, deaf to heart's voice Taken time to listen, made a better choice. Unselfish love of children, their future in my hands Here I am, spirit severed, to contend with forign lands Obligation's weight so heavy, the burden I could not take Sickened by my weakness, I burrow in my fate. Some think me SO strong, shower me with respect for doing right by family, heart's void they can't detect For I am a loving mother, pitcure perfect wife, Have all of the "belongings", lead such an ideal life.......... He told me he changed for the better, this to me he swore would make it his life's work to make it better then before But it really does'nt matter how perfect he becomes for my heart is with another, and it is he that I love. For now I live day by day, doing what I must Our love will never go away, of that I know and trust We find our strength in each other, each and every breath Until we are together our hearts will never rest. I Love You. |

Jenn E what a sad poem..it must really torture the heart to be in a situation like that .... your words were sincere and the flow was rythmic...great poem...though it is sad. "my love is my motivation my love is my inspiration perception of this poem is your interpretation" -- me |

Jenn, such a difficult time, so heartfully shared. Your words were acutely felt by this reader. Thank you. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Jenn E. - I feel your pain. Go for the happiness, not security. Life is too short to be unhappy. Loved the poem. Written with such heart felt expression. |

JnR4eva......Thank You for your heartfelt concern. Yes it is sad, as am I. Although, sadness does not last forever. Meadowmuse...... Claire, that you "acutely" felt this makes me feel more understood and less alone. Thank You. Bdc......I could just hug you! The fact that I move you flateers me to death and has brought a smile to this face. Thank You Rosebud1229.......Thank you for your kind wishes, and very true on the "waver". Mark B......HEY! I know....and yes I am.....BUT, things could be worse I guess. I could be lost in the woods, after a rain with no mosquito repellent...and where I live that would be BAD!!! lol Thanks for your reply, always makes my cheek raise to a smile!  Paula......Very true on the "perfect" and I will try my hardest to not let it. Thank You. susanbartee.....You are right. Life is to short, and yes all I write is with my heart. See ya's again, Jenn E |

I can totally relate to this one.....a little of unsolicited advice if I may....All I can say is that I am MUCH happier now....it is scary to "contend to foreign lands" but it gets easier....silver Chair has the perfect song for this.....it is the last song on their Frog Stone Cd you should check it out..... Stay well and be happy for YOU!!Julie :) |
