I Did It My Way

I Did It My Way Nay they say, that simply will not ever do look here for a wife that's so very true Those foreign gals are only after your money to a broke guy like me that was so damn funny! Friends gave me a list of all the bad that exists temptations so false yet hard to ever resist Those women have it in buckets, baskets and spades only ever good for prostitutes , cooks and maids! The negatives stacked up like many rows of firewood the why not's , the don't ever's and you never should Many a curse cast upon those women from foreign shores vile lies about stealing, killing and being whores! Despite it all , went ahead and I did it my way, My Way trusting in the good Lord , kneeling nightly to pray Decade now with foreign wife , son , sits a very happy man I did it my way, rejecting such lies , tossed into trash can!!! 06-05-2014, Contest entry--- "I Did It My Way" This write based upon my life!! After two brutal divorces I wanted a true wife. One that understood faithfullness , honor and love! So I decided to look the entire world over, not limiting myself just to the USA. Immediately I was told how foolish my quest. Told how awful, bad and evil those "foreign women" are! I refused to listen to such tripe. I did it my way and glorious bliss landed upon my life! Found true love, beautiful and faithful wife . Now we have a beautiful 7 year old son. All because I knew the hate cast at me was intolerance and deceit, based upon lies and conceit. My filipina wife is as good as gold. Ten strong years of pure and ever faithful bliss! Such they sought to make this man miss!! Yes, I did it my way......

A great love story/poem this is. I believe that there are bad men and women everywhere, but when you find the right mate - it doesn't matter where they are from. My brother brought home a wife from Germany many years ago. They are still happy together. thanks for this great poem. ... Lucilla

Thank you my friend.. All the best to your brother and wife. He too did it his way.. People are people first, humans each having the same strengths and weaknesses that make us a mystery wrapped in a spiritual cloud... Love is where one finds it!!!

Dear Robert, I'm glad you didn't let the naysayers prevent you from marrying a woman from the Filipines. At last, you have found true love. My parents didn't want my brother to bring home a wife from Thailand when he was in the Navy. He married a local girl but secretly named one of his children after his lost love. This poem is memorable and beautifully written. So uplifting! Bless you for doing it Your Way, Carolyn

Thank you very much my friend. When so many vehemently opposed women they had not even met yet red flags went up for me. I thought all humans are capable of good and bad. No one race/nationality has a monopoly on that..
