All things end

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

    1. 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. 🙂
