He Lied
When the Dr said I had MS
It fazed me none the least…..
It fazed my spouse,
The stupid louse…..
He acted like a beast.
He found himself a girlfriend
Before he even tried
Said he’d never leave me.
Said he’d always love me.
He lied.
He moved me back to the mid-west
Where family and friends I had,
Then moved himself in with her…
Now tell me that’s not bad.
Then he left two of our three girls with me
I finished raising them by myself.
It was like he’d put his family on hold….
He had put us on a shelf.
It wasn’t ‘til then my anger grew,
But funny how this is…..
I grew so angry @ myself
For ruining his kids.
Oh I have since remarried
And the Love I have is bliss
But I still worry bout my girls…..
I still worry about his kids.
This morning our youngest called me,
I want for her the best
But I see her making choices that
Put that to the test.
I give it all to Jesus,
But I still have to cry,
When I lay my girls at his feet
And ask Him why, oh why?
I know it’s not the only cause,
Or that I had not tried…
But this one thing I know for sure,
I know this….. HE LIED.
