Single & Free

Right now that's how I rather be
Marriage failed leaving me single
Giving me an opportunity to mingle
Having the freedom to be myself

The divorce made me
Realize that there wasn't anything left
This life I live is new to me
Sometimes missing the joy

Of marriage and family
At times it's hard getting adjusted to
However I like the freedom
That it gives to you

Although marriage may sound a lot better
That's what people say
Those who choose the single life
Won't feel this way

Freedom must feel good after the pain. Keep on keeping on.

Interesting thoughts put to pen. Sometimes if we find ourselves in a new situation or in a place where we no longer have the responsibilities that we once did we are kinda lost; our success at this hurdle depends on where we go with the freedom. May you make all the right choices and develop your gifts to their fullest. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara
