GOODBYE TERRIBLE PAST...

I closed that door on what once was,

The aching nights, the heavy loss.

I unspool the threads of yesterday,

And let the shadows fade away.

The scars remain, but lose their sting,

No longer the dark songs they sing.

I set them free long ago upon the breeze,

And let my weary spirit ease.

What broke my heart has made me strong,

I leave behind the ancient wrong.

I turn my face toward the sun,

My healing journey has begun.

Day by Day, slowly, step by step..

"The LORD is my light and my salvation—

whom should I fear?

The LORD is the stronghold of my life—

whom should I dread?"

22 May 1999 I tied the knot with Welcome Kennedy, at the Baptist Church in DBN,I turned 23 yrs that Month, he was 35 yrs - a Twelve year difference between us, Pastor Kleinbooi married us, Lisa and her then boyfriend Kevin King witnessed for us. Those few years together as husband and wife was most terrible. He was very abusive, causing me to have a miscarriage. I separated from him, he came to look for me, I went back to him and his house, things got out of control. We finally got divorced in 2003/2004. I put all that behind me. Worked through the Abuse, went for counseling ....I speak to him now, we catch up on family news, but one thing I know for sure, I will never go back to him, even if he pays me a million rands. I told him recently "We were not at all compatible", he made his choices, he must live with them. He turned 62yrs in March this year. I wish him all the best....The only Good thing that I can say happened in those years as husband and wife, I got Baptized at the Lorraine Baptist Church, went through the waters, Baptized by Rev David Watterson,.

Strange how these men always come looking for their wives when they get older. No thank you to that...I am free like a bird, I answer to no one...I still pray for my soulmate...
