Courage To Move On!! by Mindy Carpenter
They had been together for many a year,
Now all she can feel is fear.
She gave all that she could give,
It just wasn't the way he wanted to live.
He left without a backward glance,
Not even giving their love a chance.
She often wonders what she could have done,
To keep him from going on the run.
Now she is living all alone,
With nothing she can call her own.
She can barely make herself eat,
Wondering if her life will again be complete.
This woman is now moving along,
Building her courage, and becoming strong.
Time will heal her broken pride,
Toward the sunrise her heart will glide.
Now all she can feel is fear.
She gave all that she could give,
It just wasn't the way he wanted to live.
He left without a backward glance,
Not even giving their love a chance.
She often wonders what she could have done,
To keep him from going on the run.
Now she is living all alone,
With nothing she can call her own.
She can barely make herself eat,
Wondering if her life will again be complete.
This woman is now moving along,
Building her courage, and becoming strong.
Time will heal her broken pride,
Toward the sunrise her heart will glide.

I wrote this about my mother who has just recently went through a divorce. My father and mother had been married for 24 years, and dated for four years prior to getting married.
He left her for another woman!
He left her for another woman!

I can really relate, my husband left me after 38 years of marriage. Life felt like it ended, but it does go on. I wish I could stop hurting and I have most of the time, but ever once in awhile I feel that pain again. - Gayle |

I HAVE TO SAY THAT IS A VERY TOUCHING AND TRUE POEM. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST 3 IN A HALF YEARS. TRYING TO MOVE FORWARDS WITHOUT TAKING ANY STEPS BACK. IT IS HARD AND GOD IS HELPING ME THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES BUT HE ISN'T MAKING IT EASY EITHER. - HEATHER |

This is ppoem well put for any woman who has gone through times like this,and left alone after so much of her life was spent with the man she thought realy loved her. Iam a single parent and the mother of our child left us in a simiular way and didnt even bother to look back at her 2yr old child she was leaveing behind,she now is six and stays with me ,and I hope that something like that doesnt happen to her. I hope to find someone I can share my live with,as I know she will some day (your mom) and have the courage to move on. - Eliberto |

I have just recently broken up with my lover, Not by my choice at all, I too wondered and still do, what I could have done to keep him with me. Its been so very hard for me, I've cried and prayed for his return, knowing that to stay with him is to desert myself.
