Choices

by June   Jul 10, 2007


Sometimes throughout life ,
we are faced with tough choices.
At times your heart speaks louder ,
than everyones voices.

In the past I followed my heart ,
and it brought me hurt and pain.
Since then I have played it safe ,
never trusting my heart again.

I was in love many years ago ,
he cheated and left me.
Left me with a child on the way ,
my pain I never let anyone see.

But it left me scared to love ,
if I don't love I can't hurt anymore.
I'm lucky to now have a partner who adores me ,
care about him I do and i'd never hurt him thats for sure.

Recently my choice of not to love ,
is one I have started to regret.
My feelings I am trying so hard to fight ,
but my heart won't let me forget.

The secure and safe feeling I have with my partner ,
is all I've needed for 12 years.
If I made the choice to love again ,
it scares me because it could all end in tears.

So my choice is stay right where I am ,
because there is love in my life of a different kind.
Its the unconditional love I have for my kids ,
its a love like no other I know I'll never find.

    Beautiful penned as always....well expressive emotions yet meaningful,....As you know, I am thankful that God let me have my father for 15 years. And I am happy that I was able to let him know how much I loved him....

    And if i could write like this that would be great, but i'm too far for perfect....have a good day dear friend, take care...Hugs..

    I thought this would help a bit....."People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember: if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find One at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

    Bert.
