Thank You

i thank you for the pain you brought, it made me who i am.
i thank you for the lies you told, it made me understand.
i learned to walk this road alone, for you i thank for that.
i learned that i'm my own best friend, and love myself in fact.
without your trials and heartache, i wouldn't know my strength.
thanks for leaving me all alone, i got to know myself in depth.
i can thank you for all that you have done, you see i hold not one regret.
if you had decided to stay with me, i wouldn't know this wonderful person that i met!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thank you for sharing those words, those feelings, those thoughts....they mean so much more than the collection of characters they are made of...
