[hometext] => I wrote this poem back in March and my life story has drastically changed since the original. I thought I should update it. I think some may benifit from a story with a happy ending for a change.
[bodytext] => Stronger Innocent years of a teen Oh, if I could have only seen That these were the easy years Before I’d know the pain of tears Party after party Good friends and fine wine Alone in a dark room at twenty I did find Tied and gagged What happened to me? All this from a man whose face I still see I know not his name, but I felt his rage I dare not tell, I’m the responsible child for her age I must have done something I must have made a mistake Three months later there are choices to make If I keep it, what will I say? I know he will ask of his father someday I was twenty years young with a baby to raise No time to worry with questions of somedays At twenty-three I found love for the first time I took his name and made it mine I loved his daughter as she was my own I loved this feeling of not being alone In wedded bliss we had another To our surprise, it was a brother Bed rest and again, alone He just stopped coming home Two months early my bundle arrived Tiny little creature, barely alive Months of doctors and machines Did finally bring my baby home to me A broken marriage but I’d never leave In hurting my children I didn’t believe Four years of marriage with out a touch But I loved my daughter so very much Alcohol can bring a man to terrible things Now I know the violence it brings Hurtful words and painful punches And I still longed for once loving touches Now here I am, almost twenty eight After divorce and bearing the weight I am stronger than I have ever been Thanks to these two lousy men Thanks to them I have two men of my own From whom I’ll hide the pain I’ve known I refuse to believe this is all life has for me I will bounce back once more, you’ll see I’ve too much passion in my soul To never love, My heart’s still whole! * Update* Still Stronger With past behind, I’ve moved on I’ve found a love like I’ve never known. Happily married my love in May Packed up our things and moved away. Life is great in our new home, Never once have I felt alone. The boys are healthy and happy again And growing into little men. A quarterback and a soccer star, ABC’s and playing guitar, These little men are quite a show, With a wonderful man to help them grow. A wonderful Dad with a heart of gold, Someone who can share my load. In four short years he’ll have his PhD, And he’ll still be teaching sociology. The only fights I have these days Are tickle fights where the whole family plays. All the pain and all the tears That I have shed over all these years Have truly made me appreciate What I have in my true soul mate.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
