From My Past To Present Poem by Ireece Mae Montero

My past wounded me so bad
Cuts too deep and hurts a lot
I rushed to so called love before
Thought it will be forever more
Met a lot in my way
“No good for me”, I must say
Sometimes I wonder
If true love is there
I asked God “is there real love for me? ”
Didn’t expect you’re the one I see
You were there in the crowd just standing
I finally noticed you are staring
How could I have been so blind?
You’ve been waiting yet I didn’t mind
You saved me from drowning
You are God-send, I’m not dreaming
This scar I kept
I’m wearing it from the day we met
I hesitated to tell the truth
I’m just starting to take out their roots
Many were said and done
Yet you are accepting it as a man
A lot was taken from me
But you stayed and hug me gently
In the past, I never imagined how weak I had been
I thank God you haven’t seen
Life is full of surprises, I can tell
You were there to catch me when I fell
