Remember the hope in our future The innocence of a young bride We loved you and I We made children Then the loneliness of an absent husband My life was full except for you You chose a different life and you missed so much You didn't seem to know any better But now you do The love we shared withered and died Not what I wanted...

Up and down these emotions of mine One day wrecked the next I'm fine. Get through the day I hope that tomorrow will bring a day without any sorrow. Why am I sad? No real reason why I feel so unhappy and just want to cry I put on a brave face for the world to see and try not to feel sorry for poor little me More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Christian reflections: Honoring marriage
7 of 19

Yes there are three of us in this marriage! A three cord strand that is not easily broken. That is how our marriage has survived everything that's been thrown at it. We married as committed Christians under Gods law as well as the state requirements. I have always believed in marriage. I got married in church the first time ... More..

Where do I go from here? Now I have found the answer The emptiness inside me filled But still found wanting A love that will not Let me go A father and His child So close and yet So far away A life chosen A path taken I have soared on eagles wings And sunk to the depths of despair I will always cling to you But you give me f...

I can see the benefits of going to church regularly and have lived this way. I have a strong faith, converting more than twelve years ago.

Letting go How can I let him go? Stop the pain of watching? A life that causes so much doubt But i have to let him live it.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Saying goodbye
331 of 454

How could we say goodbye, when we never said hello? I never really knew you, though I sensed your spirit deep within. And as I wrestled with my conscience, feeling love and anger, I kept my secret that was to become a sin. Days went by, I cried out to you and to the God I never knew. Each passing hour, I felt you near but I ... More..

Head please leave me alone I don't want to think today I said "Head just leave me alone!" Please just go away. The thoughts that you give me Go round and round I feel like I'm screaming Without making a sound.

My dog has most definitely helped my emotional well being. With the trials that a woman of a certain age goes through, such as empty nest syndrome and the menopause, my Barney dog has been there for me! I love him so much and he makes me smile with his character and funny antics. If I am feeling down he always cheers me up a... More..

Watching you as you started to turn from a girl to a woman. I felt helpless. I was. I couldn't and still can't protect you from what i think might hurt you. You are so beautiful but vulnerable and yet so strong. Like me in so many ways but my traits I wish you hadn't got! You place your self esteem in needing to be loved. Lo... More..
