Carol Sunshine Brown Poet Free verse

Broken Hearted Cheater

She stays with her unfaithful guy
The way she was raised the reason why
Living with and loving him for half her life
He in return gives her a life full of strife
She asks herself does she love him still
But, knows in her heart she always will
Her vows she honored till death did they part
Years later her unfaithful guy died of a broken heart



Entry: This Contest~~~ It's Up To You

Written by: Carol Brown
1st Place Winner

Entered this poem in P.D.'s contest because it seems the sponsor I had written it for 
thought it needed worked on. This does happen in life but maybe I could have explained it better.(I worked so hard to get the message across)

Gwendolen Song December 17, 2011 at 3:50 PM This poem really hits home with me in so many ways...faithfulness seems to either not be rewarded or when it is, it is way toooo late. I know so many people who fit in this category. Congrats on this awesome and heart-stirring write. Love, Gwendolen

Judy Ball October 28, 2011 at 8:01 AM A fine job here Carol. Reminds me of my Aunt Sue. Her husband was always unfaithful to her and she was going to leave him but when her son was born he was very sick and they didn't know if he would live. She prayed and said if God would let her son live she would stay with heer cheatng husband. She kept heer vow until her husband died. Great job. God Bless, JB
