Notes About The Poem
I don't think that there is too many more things that can hurt as bad
as a divorce, the breaking up of a family. A friend told me, death is
easier than that and, I tend to agree with her.
A Broken Relationship
A Broken Relationship
Soft tears rolled down her cheeks
as she rolled over to face his back,
for she knew in her heart so deep that
a love for her he did lack.
She had felt the relationship break
with the husband of her youth,
but how can it be Lord? He is father of my children
but, all the while she knew.
She thought, they used to be so happy
when in their youth walking hand in hand,
thinking nothing could touch them
when their love brought them wedding bands.
Yes, they had spats and arguments
along the way,
but thinking nothing so great
that away from her his love would stray.
Then physical abuse and threatening
from his mouth,
came and changed this fair romance
from what it once was all about.
So with tears streaming don her face
and a heart that was broken completely in two,
wondering Lord, will I ever be loved again
will I ever be able to say I do?
When he found his excuse to leave
stating because of her belief in Jesus the King of Kings,
he said, “it’s either God or me, you can’t have both,”
so she chose to give up her once precious wedding ring.
For she knew no man is so important
as harmony with God,
and she wanted to commune with Him forever
and to walk with Him on Heaven’s sod.
Yet though my life has not been so perfect
since I’ve given up my wedding ring,
I have peace with my Father, joy with His Spirit
and love from Jesus Christ, my King.
And now, the painful hurting memories
my Precious Lord did take,
and replaced them with some fond remembrances
all of His Wonderful Name’s sake.
