Array ( [sid] => 9415 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => The Final Phase [time] => 2002-12-29 18:20:00 [hometext] => Life brings a series of beginings and endings, some endings take longer than others to get over..... [bodytext] => I look in the mirror and
a tired face looks back at me.
I am only a small fragment of
who I am yet to be.
This year has represented
many changes in my life.
I became a grandmother
the year I became an ex-wife.
The sparkle in my eyes
is not always there.
My thoughts became clouded
with so many things to bear.
My son chose to move away,
as did my only daughter.
I find myself at times trying
to be both mother and father.
Their father seems to of forgotten
the role that he once played.
I attempted to fix things
in the many prayers I have prayed.
Hoping someday he would put aside
his own self centered needs.
Drowning out his sorrows
hiding a heart that does not bleed.
Maybe he will never really see
the damage that was done.
In failing to be a role model
to his own daughter and son.
They need him now more than ever,
but he is not always around.
Off living a new life and does
not seem to care if he is found.
I hope someday he realizes
how short life can really be.
As the lines on my face are
evidence of damage done to me.
Marriage is suppose to be for life,
in both good times and in bad.
I have worked so hard in
regaining the sense of self I had.
I push onward now
but feel so tired inside.
Spent and worn out from
so many tears I have cried.
I know God has blessed me
in so many brand new ways.
New beginnings breaking through
the dark and foggy haze.
Gaining acceptance seems to be
the longest phase of grief.
I am finally finding myself
breathing deep sighs of relief.
Relief in believing so many
things wait for me ahead.
Proceeding one day at a time
to wherever I am led.
For I know God never meant
to hurt me through such pain.
The future brings much promise
in his plan for me to obtain.
I have learned so many lessons
through much of this long phase.
For the lessons of my heart
I offer so much praise.
Praise that he has always
been right there my side.
I have so much more to offer
just waiting deep inside.
My broken heart took
a long, long time to heal.
Until I finally trusted in him
by risking to once again feel.
