Thank You To My Ex-Husband
Although things have changed
Over the many years
I just wanted the world to know
I have happy tears
The pain and suffering
That I have for years buried
Your hatred and revenge
For this day you have carried
I have you in my thoughts
In everything I do
You made me a stronger woman
And I Thank You
I use my side mirrors
Every time I'm in reverse
When a vehicle breaks down
Your lessons I rehearse
WD-40 is the lube
You taught me would work
On just about everything
That had a troublesome quirk
Patience is something
We had all along
But perservance through our fighting
Proves your intentions weren't all wrong
My job was to care for children
Make their days complete
I am now a mother
To all youth that I meet
We chose different paths
Our children too
You degrade me still
And I Thank You
You just made me
Stronger than I was before
Knowing that I have matured enough
To learn insults gain love no more
You taught me things
From being gone so long
I had no choice
But to be independant and strong
Beauty is in everyone
You target what you SEE
Not caring about what caused it
The difference between you and me
So, here I am
Devoted to all that is true
Letting the world know
I Thank You
