I am so sorry for what you have endures but I'm also happy you have survived and know where your strength comes from. I especially liked the following lines:
I am free now. I have finally found peace and happiness. The Lord has provided for me and answered my prayers.

Blessings
Janet

A deep look into your life. I am so glad that you survived that traumatic relationship. Once you have found the Lord, things usually turn out all right.

I hope this poem was as cathartic for you as it appears...

SO many times, life doles out unfair challenges, made worse when the perpetrator is someone we loved!

I'm rejoicing with you that you overcame the hurdles.

Your final line is the most freeing for you!

Forgiveness truly is a gift we give ourselves...

Karenina

We have much in common. Except my husband died. While he was alive, I wished for many things. A new house, a new car--etc. A few years after he died, I was able to buy those things I always wanted. However, I do not enjoy any of the things I have because my husband is not here to share them. I hate to hear about your husband.

Karma is a bitch, excuse my language. He will get what he deserved. And I am happy for you. Bless you.

What goes around comes around. Even the Bible says so--not in those words of course. This writing is so expressive, so moving. It describes the
bitterness the man caused--bad feelings which the Lord has taken away and has blessed you greatly.

    Indeed Dolly. I wasn?t sure I was going to make it those first few years and now I am stronger for it. My revenge is indeed my happiness and I am truly blessed. Thank you for the great review.

Oh yes, the Lord is the only just person, we are completely blind until God gives us sight, and you put your trust and faith in Him, and your testimony will be, He gives life to spirit and becomes our Father when we are orphaned either metaphorically or literally, and husband to the widow, God is so, so good, beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy and blessings to you. God is indeed my Lord and Savior and I have put all my trust in him and he has guided me and not ever let me down. He gave me strength when I needed it and has blessed me with the retirement home of my dreams now. In five years I will be able to retire. I?m looking forward to that. It?s so beautiful here.

This poem, A New Beginning, is a good way to affirm that you are ready to start anew and put the past behind you. I, on the other hand, would pay someone to keep him alive on a spit over a fire for as long as possible.

    Lol. Believe me. There we?re times when my thoughts towards him were not so generous. One day I realized though that all that anger was really just hurting me not him. He had moved on and I needed to also. The Lord helped me forgive him and do that. I have no respect for him anymore but I have stopped hating him. It was only hurting me. Thanks for the great review!

This work has reached the exceptional level

The author's words are engaging, hurtful, heartfelt, yet survived the storm,
are descriptive and creative. I pondered on these words and felt the pain
that broke a heart. I also found there was a determination in these words
to make it! Thank you for the author's notes - they speak volumes! The artwork is lovely and compliments this poem. An Exceptional Poem!
