My Painful Past
Fifty eight years of life
I have been a mother
And a wife.
As I sit and recollect
Failed marriages,
Broken dreams,
Some simply stupid schemes,
The thought occurs to me
Move on past pain
It's time to set the future free
Past time to simply let it be
And reconnect to
All of me.
My soul has been tested
By dreams that were bested
By life's momentum ever flowing
But I dreamed on all unknowing.
However where there is life
There is hope
Maybe I can learn to cope.
I'll put the past where it belongs
Learn to sing new songs
And hope it gets better.

My past was catching up and needed
Tired and hurt by their deceiving
I had given up believing
in a Mister Right for me
I faced a lonely destiny
But then you
