I was once told that I would die alone, and lonely; And that no man would want me because of my health problems, which, ok, I might add, there are many...
This was told to me by my then husband of 27 years.
He couldn't have been more wrong! Just because he didn't care; didn't mean another wouldn't want to share my life.
I was also asked very recently;
'Why would a fit and healthy man want to share the life of a cripple like you!'
I laughed my head off at that!!!
I didn't reply, there was no need!!!
Fools with only half a brain don't need replies!
I need a wheelchair to get about, so what? At least I get out!
At least I didn't lie down, roll over, give up, and die!
More, I am a fighter!
One of the worst stubborn people God ever created!
Even He can't cope with me!!! I would drive Him nuts!!!
I have a wonderful man in my life;
He sees not a cripple; but a person!
Did I mention; big headed? :o)
-------------------------------------
Even in our darkest hours!
I'm running into a future bright,
I left behind the dark of night...
All my painful days are past;
I have come home to love at last!
I strive to go forward into the light;
My painful past is out of sight!
No more crying in the dark for me!
For I have love given by him you see!
He who loves me for all I am and more,
This man of whom I love and adore!
When I am sad, he makes me smile,
Helps me forget my pain for a while!
It hurts him so to see me in such pain,
And so it hurts him over and again!
He would take it from me if he could,
But that can't be; for in as much as he would.
So instead he helps and supports me true;
There is nothing at all this man wouldn't do!
To ease my plight, and calm me down,
When on my worst days I live in frown.
He makes me smile and loves me true;
Oh but I love and adore this man, I do!
In our darkest hours we need to hang on;
To a glimmer of hope, so the good we've won!
And in those dark hours of need no matter what;
His unconditional love is what I've got!
He sooths me when I am upset and in pain,
Holds me in his arms till I'm well again!
Rubs this spine in the dead of night,
When sleep for me is so out of sight!
When I pain he pains and tells me true;
He would take my pain if at all he could do!
If I hurt he hurts and so that hurts me;
I don't want him to suffer because I love him you see!
But I can see my pain in his eyes so blue;
And yes I know that he loves me too!
A friend once told me over and again;
There would be love for me and a life to gain!
But I doubted that, oh but I did too!
But look at me now, his words have come true!
Because in my darkest hours a sunbeam bright;
Came to me and I lost the darkest night!
And now I bask in the glory of love;
Sent to me by this icon, God above!
For my darkest nights are long gone!
And yes, I can say I have finally won!
