Best Poems Written by Gerry Higgins

She Stands Strong

She stands alone in this world
So many have come into her life and so many have failed her 
by their actions and lack lustre promises 
It had become second nature to expect a honeymoon period 
and then the stark reality of another failed endeavour
Armed with faith, hope and charity and a willingness to accept, 
she was regularly paid back with lies, deceit and the shame 
of trusting another person who inevitability was going to let her down
Yet here she stands strong, proud and still wearing her 
battle bruised heart on her sleeve for all to see
Never letting regret or failure stand in her way always willing to try 
and see the good in someone where others have failed 
With an optimism that is unbreakable she knows that tomorrow 
will arrive and with it every opportunity to get what she wants 
and deserves finally coming into her life.
