Array ( [sid] => 58252 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Secret Memories from my Past [time] => 2004-07-31 00:21:08 [hometext] => To my husband who has taught me that there IS unconditional love. [bodytext] => The first time I told you of my shameful secret,
I thought you would leave, head for the nearest exit.
Instead, you wrapped your arms in a comforting embrace,
You told me you loved me as you wiped tears from my face.

I told you I was damaged and would be no good,
You looked me in the eyes and said that's a falsehood.
You told me you loved me no matter my past,
It wasn't my fault, I shouldn't feel downcast.

I still have memories that come to mind,
With you by my side they don't become entwined.
Your love for me has me completely enshrined,
Wrapped up tight, never to unbind.



_____________________________________
To those of you who may not know, I was molested by my father. Seek someone you TRUST completely with your most precious valuables, your FEELINGS. I still struggle from time to time but I am not completely overwhelmed. I hope this poem will help someone out there who is struggling with feelings of dispare for something that was not their fault.

I applaud you for posting this an including your comment. Obviously, you know how powerful love and support can be since you recieved those gifts from your love. Your relationship is a treasure that neither of you takes for granted... it is, as well, a gift to others as you share yourselves through your writing.

Beautifully done-
SNM

You have such a gentle and compassionate nature. It is heartbreaking that this had to happen to you or to anyone...Sounds like your husband has helped you through a great deal of hurt. Great write.

Gentledove with a heart full of love. I can certainly understand, for I was molested by my own brother, and when I told my father, he said, "I wished you'd never been born!" Good way to shut me up!
You have a wonderful husband, Gentledove, and I know he will always protect you.
Beautiful write, and thank you so much for sharing........it's like someone stepped off your chest!
Give him a big hug for me!!!
love you
