About the Poem

This poem is about my mother and father. They had been married for 24 years, and had dated for 4 years before they were married. He left her 2 days before my wedding, for another woman. My mother is pulling through though; and she is very brave and strong. This is for you, Mom.

Courage To Move On!!

They had been together for many a year,
Now all she can feel is fear.
She gave all that she could give,
It just wasn't the way he wanted to live.

He left without a backward glance,
Not even giving their love a chance.
She wonders what she could have done,
To keep him from going on the run.

Now she is living all alone,
With nothing to call her own.
She can barely make herself eat,
Wondering if her life will again be complete.

This woman is now moving along,
Building her courage, and becoming strong.
Time will heal her broken pride,
Toward the sunset her heart will glide.

Mindy, this is a very touching poem and it is great to see that you care so much for your mother. However, these are your feelings not hers. After 24 years the trauma she endures can never be felt, not by you not by anyone. May God bless her and give her strength. As for him he is obviously a very uncaring and selfish human being.
