On a Day Long Ago

I look toward the double doors,swaying Becoming unbalanced in many ways Yet you were not there for my eyes To feast upon this most special Day of days so alone and lonely I stood There were sympathetic murmurs out in That sea of well-wishers,family and friends Some angry,some bemused for their Approval was never received and still I did not feel any of their gazes for I was In a deep,dark hole and then it was over Hopes and dreams were shattered,my life too Was damaged for a long time dearest,however I had to learn to forgive you for you were a Troubled soul even though I thought I had healed You and myself too it was not to be so now I Look at your beautiful picture once in a great while Wondering if your life has any shades of Happiness and I pray for your well-being Please know that I have let the anger go It's a burden that poisons the soul and causes The heart to turn to stone and I have learned At long last to love and I am filled up with Brightness again-I've forgiven you and I am free ** for "Forgiveness" contest sponsored by Audrey Carey
