The voice of a talented singer, amazing gift of oil renditions or any discipline that creates what I can’t.
The laugh of a baby, the wonder of it’s first step, the quick understanding of it’s surroundings, a mothers love.
Words tied together in a manner that sings and draws a picture for my perception.
The capture of Gods gift to us in a photo that I can hold forever.
The close warm fuzzy of a lover
So much more !
You
I don’t question why it took me so long anymore.
My knees is where I belong.
I recall the words of a Willie nelson song, I have seen the heart of a woman scorned turn form gold to stone and I am so very sorry.
I was such a self centered child when I cheated on my wife.
I loved her so very much
Now she is gone and I live on.
Go figure !

Well Jim, if it’s confession time for you so that it brings you peace and consolation, so be it.
However, you may think me hard, but you don’t get my praise and empathy.
I’ll tell you why. Love of a good woman is the greatest gift a man can have.
I have seen too many people, both men and women, shattered, when the infidelity has come to light.
To abuse exclusive treasure of each other, the deepest sharing of love, is a tragedy.
It rips your guts out. The hole remains forever. Its a beating of the spirit. Its an endless ache in the flesh.
It’s an eternal cry inside not let out.
I can spot the disloyal ones a mile off. Yes they are weak. They think they are God’s gift to women.
I know this because I have been a victim of lies and infidelity.
My kids[adults now] love me to bits. I am brave and happy, people wouldn’t know my suffering,
but I don’t mind sharing with the world that betrayal never leaves you.
You love with all your heart, you work hard, you are trusting and kind,
and while you are doing all these things and being who you are made to be, the one you love is
having his intimate way else where. No I have no care for the weak willed Don Juans of the world.
This is not nice comment I know, but you will understand I think, that it’s a personal statement
to the world, that faithfulness to a partner is sacred.

Wonderfully heartfelt piece. Always remember the good times with your loved ones because they are the ones that really count. Bad times just cheapen the relationship memory.

I have been betrayed and it is not nice at all, I’m sure I’ll always remember the hurt.I’m also sure my ex will always remember as well.Humans make mistakes.I don’t have the right to judge you or anyone else only myself. I hope that in time you will forgive yourself. As photos40 said remember the good times.Cheers Jim
