~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When he died, she was hurt
In lives together
he made her feel
Happy....sad
Glad....angry
Loved.....unloved
Pride.......disgust
Companionship....loneliness
Independence....dependence
Every emotion was felt
at some time
during all the years with
HIM

She promised herself,
NEVER to marry
or get involved
again
She didn't NEED
all these
emotions

Something always
wrong happened
in past relationships,
marriage
She could do without
mixed emotions and
HURT

She could make it in life
all by herself
Because.....
She was HERSELF,  and was capable
She was strong
Because, she loves
HERSELF

               Then,
                      I met
                            YOU

Tender and touching, Ethel.

True love melts the hardest
waxed heart! Strength is in
knowing when to melt!

Very fine write!

Love always finds it's way through all the shuffle of emotions...even convictions you think you earned.

Love that change -- from "She" to "I"! Like you are saying, "Ok, I wasn't even fooling me, so here it is......."

A pretty poem with a message that's so true.
