DEAR HUSBAND

Dear husband
Somehow you fell into my life at just the right time
Even though I was with my ex your presence just felt right
He would beat me almost every night
I was to scared to leave and to scared to fight
You kept coming to my work and asking me out
I kept telling you no , but I wanted so badly to go
I feared he would come after you and I had no idea what to do
He pulled up to my work one night and seen me talking to you
He gets out of the car with a tire iron and starts walking toward you
You just laugh at him and tell him to think about what he is about to do
That he will need more then a tire iron to come at you.
I had never seen him back away from anyone, I was so confused
Then I realized for some reason he was afraid of you.
That was the day Instead of leaving with him I left with you
You told me you would keep me safe and show me a different way
A life where I did not have to be scared and I would not have to cry
A life filled with love , laughter and light
Thank you my husband for not giving up on me
It is because of you that I still breath
Thank you my husband for saving my life
I will love you until the end of time

not bad

Thank you , I Try.

you are welcome!

Wow nice! Was most of this true?

Beautiful words @halo. Light is always brighter than darkness. There's a smile in that.

Very True, I was stuck and was very depressed and abused , I am very lucky my husband came along and did not give up as I told @timelaspe in another comment my husband came everyday for 35 days and asked me out and I told him no every time. I did not want to put my now husband in danger , my ex was crazy, but did not scare my husband at all even when my ex had a tire iron , he got back in his car and left, I had never seen my ex walk away from a fight.

Sometimes the unspoken spirit of someone protecting the innocent is far more powerful than any human force. You have a great man with a good heart, that's powerful right there.

Thank you for your insight , I really like this comment

My absolute pleasure. Keep up the great photography and writing.

Well written! Will follow back if followed!

Wow, hard to focus with those bazookas!

LOL , Maybe I should have used a different photo. Just scroll down

Thank You, I had it pretty bad for a long time until my husband came into the picture. The thing is he came back every day for 35 days until I said yes.

Confidence is definitely a good trait... much more attractive than raw intimidation!

words from the Heart

From the heart and all completely true.

Brilliant! Here you go girl!

Thank You

Very powerful moving piece. Thank you for entering.

Thank You

Always good to see the @halo in person and in poetic flow - all the best in the competition :) UV/RS

Thank You

Lookin' good on top of my timeline -- the original Steemit girl ;)

:) Thank You for the resteem @mindhunter , I did kinda forge the way for all the other women. I took a lot of crap.

We all took a lot of crap in the early days @halo! All of us! It's been hard work to get where we are now. We all deserve to take the daily rewards from this platform that we've helped build! So steem on girl :)

It is the best words touches my heart.

Thank You so much

You are most welcome @halo

Is that your picture? 🤓

Yes it is me

Hot 😃

Thank You

You are married? :(

LOL , yes happily married, so sorry

A really great poem @halo, but I think it seems more like a rap song. You can convert it into a rap song.

This is very moving. Thank you for sharing.
