Oh... How I Remember!



Late in February, Im at home...packing my belongings with snow and freezing temputures warnings constantly flashing across the screen.

Trying to be right and packing semi light I've decided its now or never. It is a horrible fright.

The stack of papers are mixture of important and jun,k so I flip through them one by one.

Oh I remember him, he was my first love... we had a beautiful daughter, he was my husband but proved to be dud.

As I continue to flip through the papers, I see reminders of my 2nd, 3rd and 4th all past lovers.

Number 2, we had a great start, I fell head over heals in love, It hit me very hard. 7 years later he passed before summer, he left me sad and I will always remember..

The 3rd was a mouthy man, but deep down I knew he was going to challenge my mind. 5 years in, he began to cheat, thank God I'm smart enough to remember who I was and leave.

The 4th is my now, he treats my like his queen and adores my every thought. He is kind and he is mine and it comes to light after I go down memory lane....

Oh how I remember, what a long way I have came...It took me 1,2,3 to disagree and thank you Jesus for giving 4. There will be no more.
