Life's Hidden Lessons

I married a man too early in life and wasn’t prepared to be a good wife. I believed he loved me and things would be fine. My love for him would grow over time. The years passing by were good for awhile. Then came a time I could not see my smile. He cheated on me and I deserved more. With a heavy heart I went out the door. We parted as “friends”, which ended one day. With a baby conceived he went on his way. He now liked his freedom away from me. I carried our son -- he didn’t want to see. Soon after another cared about me; I ignored the things I didn’t want to see. I married that man -- I thought it’d be best. But soon after that, he was failing the test. Driven by fear, I mistakenly thought A son of “his own” was the thing that he sought I now had a toddler and one on the way; there was no doubt, I now had to stay. Things started to spiral out of control. The alcohol had a firm grip on his soul. Choosing to leave to protect us all; I was forced this time to really stand tall. Now on my own with two children to raise I examine my life in so many ways. My relationships failed, for that I am sad; but the result of those could never be bad. Now long gone are those men from my past replaced by a “true” love that forever will last. My love for my sons, my two little boys, erase all my pains and reveal only my joys.
