'Marrying With A Heavy Heart' Poem by Linda Winchell

If you are thinking of getting married
and you have a heavy heart.
Don't even go there, my friend!
please stop before it starts!

I've been there more than four times myself!
and three were of, a heaviness of heart felt.
I never should have gotten into them
but didn't have enough love, for myself!

The marriages were a living hell!
The hell in which, I had allowed and made.
Because I wasn't strong enough
and thought I could change them
with all the love, to them I gave!

How wrong was I, to have thought that way
like a little girl, trying to parent please!
That it took me to another dimension of lifes brokenness!
and brought me, eventually to my now, weakened knees!
