I lost a love of 20 years
But through the heartbreak and the tears
My heart was strong
And did not succumb
To the bitterness
Or the angry rage
I found myself a space
To grieve to grow
And though things got thrown at me
I kept my dignity
I kept my self respect
I rose above the nastiness
We had shared so much
The girls who are the best
And I have now moved on and away
And what has gone before
Has been laid to rest
But looking at my daughters
I feel still blessed
And I now look forward to what happens next.

Beautiful piece of prose, very sentimental. You have a kind heart faux, and you inspire me in my own situation to rise above the pettiness and remember the good memories rather than linger on the bad. 🙏🏽 thank you for sharing family

Yes! Rise above, show dignity, focus on the good stuff cast aside the bad. The bad is gone can’t be changed. Don’t let it change you. 🙂
