Poem Title:
Poem
He stole my heart in a youth too young to realize that a future of love was right before my eyes. He wanted forever, I felt I needed more liberation, but little did I know he was the reason for my creation. So I gave back the ring and settled far out west, searching for myself somewhere; my life’s greatest test. Months went by and happiness never called my name. For I was so lonely and my life just not the same. Without his arms to hold me at night with ease was the most difficult thing, so I fell to my knees. “God, what did I do? Did I make the biggest mistake?” So I prayed and pondered and a great chance I did take. I flew out east on a weekend hoping he’d still be alone. It was the hardest thing for my hand to pick up the phone. Nervous with anxiety was I in that very moment, was he ready to forgive me and give me atonement? “Hello, how are you doing? I’m home for awhile.” He said, “can I see you baby?”, I knew he said it with a smile. That night I bought a gold ring, for my love I was to confess. I prayed with all my might hoping my soulmate would say yes. It was June 23, 2001 when I gave him one single yellow rose, read a poem written from the heart, marriage I did propose. He cried and so did I, “YES! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.” His heart gave me a second chance, for now we'd never part. Over sixteen years of marriage we have lived with devotion, yes, we've had hardships, but years filled with emotion. Created a daughter named Ella Rose to only call our own. I’m so grateful I had the nerve to pick up that phone. We will renew our vows when we celebrate twenty years, I know that day will be filled with joy and happy tears. A fairytale romance we share, and we are so in love- my second chance was a miracle bestowed from God above. *True story about how I proposed to my wonderful hubby* Second Chances Poetry Contest Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke January 19, 2019
