Women are often abandon. It is always important to remember "people only let you know what they want you to know about them" Trust in your creator Always!

It is a very good poem, the way you express it, and I feel the same as it happened to me. It is different, as you write in the thirs person's perspective

Rosa

I absolutely loved this poem. It reminded of the struggles my Mother went through, eventhough my father had not left her, in many ways he did. I have recently lost her and him, and reading the poem was very special to me. Thank you for sharing.

Darlene

Thank you for sharing this poem. I am going through a similar situation right now and needed a poem that understood what I am going through and some encouragement that the pain will one day stop & I will go on.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING

libby

great!

Andria

This poem is very encouraging to me in my life at this point and time. My fiance of five years and myself just broke up. I could not live the lifestyle he had chosen and he did leave no "uncaring". Now I am building my courage and strength again. It's just nice to know that I'm not the only one what stood for something important to me and lost. Now I truly know I can regain myself. Thanks for the beautiful poem.

This poem touched me deeply as I was the woman who was left behind too and it expressed how i felt as her mother felt

Sharon

Another lovely Poem by Mindy, and my thoughts and BRAVO! to your mother. You have made the experience real for people to understand.

Andi

It really touched my heart. thank you

Misz

I love your poem. My parents were going to be married for 22yrs. Including dating they were together for 27 yrs. I don't know how I can handle this. I am only 14.

Consuela

I thought this poem touched me in so many ways of how I felt when my husband had left me for another woman. It was hard but I found the courage to move on too, from GOD, so this one truly touched me emotionally and mentally.
