Courage To Move On!!
by Mindy Carpenter
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 often wonders what she could have done,
To keep him from going on the run.

Now she is living all alone,
With nothing she can 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 sunrise her heart will glide.

I can really relate, my husband left me after 38 years of marriage. Life felt like it ended, but it does go on. I wish I could stop hurting and I have most of the time, but ever once in awhile I feel that pain again.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT IS A VERY TOUCHING AND TRUE POEM. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST 3 IN A HALF YEARS. TRYING TO MOVE FORWARDS WITHOUT TAKING ANY STEPS BACK. IT IS HARD AND GOD IS HELPING ME THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES BUT HE ISN'T MAKING IT EASY EITHER.

It was very touching and I could feel the myriad of emotions eminating form the page. Definitely seemed as though it was written from the heart. It touched me so I wrote a personal note to the author. Something that is totally out of my character.
