A Poem For My Husband

[donlaw]

As some might have read, I am going through a divorce after 25 years of marriage. I have many posts here and on the counseling journals as I am going through the step of the Healing Path. And some of my posts have been fraught with anguish and even anger..but as I go through the steps and study God's Word, I am finding that although still heavy hearted at times, God is my strength and He is my Comforter and source of all peace.

I shared in my journal a poem I wrote for my husband, and I wanted to make sure I shared it here as well. May it bless someone else who is hurting.

A Poem of Love For My Husband

When we harbor anger and make our hearts bitter
It makes it so easy to become just a quitter

For harboring anger leaves a heart lost
And the pain of what's lost is a frightening cost

Finding forgiveness can be a long road
But the love of our Savior can lighten the load

What God has brought together, let no man put asunder
But it is the same when we, in our hearts, carry the thunder

For to leave behind God's will and plan
Leaves our hearts open to the pride of man

When we let differences make our hearts hard
We tell God that we hold the cards

He wants us to love others as He loves us
It grieves His Spirit when all we do is fight and fuss

The way back home is not as hard as it looks
We need only obey what we read in His book

Prayer is our help and love is our duty
If we are to ever see the wonder of God's beauty

For we wil reap all of His blessings from above
When we choose to walk with God in love

I love you Bill and I forgive you.
