Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

Stronger In the Broken Places

Awaken by the birds
the sounds of the day about to begin
lying in bed with your arms around 
as if you are shielding me from the world
trying to protect me 
from past hurts and disappointments
I am ready to face the world 
your love gave me the wings
the emotional strength to face my demons
and the peace to know that if I falter 
you are only a call away…

Carolyn Devonshire September 23, 2010 at 1:21 PM Wilma, Thank you for your prayers for John Loving. The sadness he is feeling must be overwhelming now. He wanted his relationship with April to grow and lead to a future together. God bless you for your thoughtfulness. It is hard to stop thinking about John's loss today. He is such a sweet man. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire September 23, 2010 at 7:12 AM A very moving poem, Wilma. If someone provides you with the type of emotional strength you describe here and shields you from the world's hurts, you are very lucky to have found him. This is how love should feel, my friend. Love, Carolyn
