Karen Bridges Poem
Love is something that's hard to explain.
You may feel overjoyed and dance in the rain.
Love may bring tears that often come with pain.
Your lifelong partner can drive you insane!
Real love goes much deeper than pretty brown eyes,
We are often fooled by people and lies.
I grow to love you more with each passing day.
The demons in my past are surely fading away.
I now have a love who is my best friend,
I know this love is real. I don't have to pretend.
We reach out to each other by simply holding one's hand.
Look what God has done! Let's make footprints
in the sand.
Today, you become my husband and I am now your wife.
I will always be grateful God placed you into my life.
We are no longer two people but are now one.
We both remember how this all begun.
As we exchange rings and seal it with a kiss,
Had we not found each other look what we would have missed!
I love you Scott Bridges
Special thanks to cdff for ur Christian dating service

Karen Bridges Poem
It's been 16 years since you've last seen me. Now I am 17 and I feel sad.
That's only because you made me so mad.
I often thought I was a mistake. God made me and now I must die.
Just please now, try not to cry.
Mom I know that you "had me" and dad helped too, and I know I'll regret this but I hate both of you. You left me. Both of you.
Now as I'm writing I hope you understand, mom you're not a mother. And dad, how can you call yourself a man?
I love you both because now I can see, I wasn't the mistak! You were!
I now have a family. They loved me. Why couldn't you?
Why did you hate me? What did I do?
Because mom, dad, remember, I wasn't even two

Karen Bridges Poem
I know you are sad that I am no longer there.
I'm in the presents of God. No need to despair.
This place beautiful unlike anything I've ever seen.
Not one soul here who Jesus hasn't made clean.
No trash to pick up around these pearly streets of gold
I see the garden nearby just like the bible had told.
When I want something to eat I just pull it off the vine.
No need to prick my finger. I'm healed. Heaven is devine!!
I am no longer thirsty as my cup is overfilled.
I can now see the river. Oh how I am thrilled!!
The sky is so blue yet it's not overly bright.
Oh, by the way, did I mention I have perfect sight??
To those whom I left when I had passed away
There is something important that I would like to say.
Stay strong in the Lord and repent every day
For you do not know when the Lord will call your way.
I

Karen Bridges Poem
I remember screaming "stop! " I could only yell
You drug me upstairs and raped me putting me through utter h...
I was so terrified. I didn't know if I would live or die.
I heard my panties rip from my inner thigh.
I had just turned 18. I was now an adult.
I was traumatized by this cowardly sexual assault.
You threatened to beat me and leave me for dead.
Didn't want to be beaten. Let you rape me instead..
My mother's advice I chose to ignore.
I was a teen and thought I knew more.
He later let me go and I ran down the street.
I was running so fast. I could hear my own heart beat
Many years later, yeah I remember it well.
I still have nightmares from when you put me through h...
I have to forgive you because that's what God commands.
H... on earth maybe, but eternity and life in His hands.

Karen Bridges Poem
As I reflect on my past and remember things that happened over the years
I often stop and think about the problems I caused. I can still see her tears.
My mother accepted a child, whose parents had left her for dead.
I couldn't understand. Why couldn't she have given birth instead?
The love I felt for my mother most will never even know.
I was blinded by a wall i had built. My feelings could never show.
Now that my mother s with you I've learned to accept a few things
With Jesus now in my heart I can see what true happiness means.
Though I can never go back and change those things i put you through for some reason God still loves me and some day I will be with you.
To those who know me now you have seen a change in me.
Do you know someone today who is just as lost as me?
Please go to that person now. Don't wait even one more day. Don't worry about a single thing.. God will tell you what to say.
As this poem comes to an end I hope some day you will find
Yes at times I can be a real pain. Yet there are those who know me as being simply kind.
I asked Jesus to come into my heart. He could change me in every way.
I guess that's what my mother always knew and wanted to say.
In loving memory of my mother, Melba Dean

Karen Bridges Poem
I'm sorry for lying but there was no other way.
I'm sorry for living. What more can I say?
I used to wonder if dreams could come true. But it can only happen to people like you...

Karen Bridges Poem
If I was just a little older I might just understand,
You have to go to work today. Your doing just the best you can.
If I was just a little taller then maybe I can could drive.
Just stay beside me like you always do and pray to God we stay alive!
If I was just a little sneakier then maybe you wouldn't known,
I used your toothbrush on the cat...Opps I forgot you didn't know!
But for now lets all be thankful that I am still very young.
Are you have fun raising me? Because you know I'm having a ball!!
Dedicated to all moms

Karen Bridges Poem
Lonelyness is like the hurt of a poor puppy's paw.
Lonelyness is something that you never saw.
Lonelyness is something that's hard to explain.
It can bring forth tears that often come with pain.
Lonelyness is something that you will never know.
It starts off very small and third begins to grow.
Lonelyness is something that you may someday see,
but no one could bare the lonelyness that lived inside of me

Karen Bridges Poem
You will never know how you have touched my life.
I see a loving husband trying to say goodbye to his wife..
I can't imagine how hard this has to be for you.
Precious memories of each other, much more than just a few.
I am just a servant but I believe the Lord has brought us together.
I want a love like yours. True love that lasts forever.
I see you crying for your wife, just then she reaches out her hand.
Someday God's children will live in paradise and walk barefoot in the sand
You have both taught me things I won't soon forget.
.
Spending these days with you I will never forget.
Thank you so much for inviting me into your life. You have truly taught me how to be a winner in the strife.
Just some final words from me. I know you may feel alone.
Don't worry about your wife. Soon she will be going home.

Karen Bridges Poem
When you love someone it's always hard to tell.
Confusion and hatred are leading you straight to hell.
You want your true love to have and to hold
And then when you find him you try to stay bold.
Your loving and caring and. Patient too
Until you find d out doesn't really love you.
Your head is pounding and your heart is numb.
Your now left alone and feeling so dumb.
He'll leave you now in your moment of doubt
And you'll wonder day and night what loves all about.
You'll tell him good bye so gentle and mere
And then you will shed just one last year....
