No Longer In View (Written For A Suffering Friend) Poem by Janice M Pickett

One last brick I need to lay on this great wall here
before I tell you, you are leaving me...
Goodbye
I want to thank you in this very special way now
and explain the joy I feel and reason why

For
The experience and the lessons this has taught me
I shall thank My God in heaven every day
for I am wiser and more grounded now in spirit
and have grown strong in every area and way

This child that is giving me such joy now
I want to thank you for the gift of his precious birth
The growth in my understanding of my needs now
makes me understand how much my life is worth

I am much stronger now from this life we once were sharing
We may be parting so that I can live again
but without the lessons learned from you my darling
I would still be weak and dancing to your game

There is so much more just waiting for me out there
With a true love who will treat me like a queen
No more suspicion about who you have spent your time with
No more living life as if within a dream

I have three children who are now my total focus
Their happiness exceeds this love now cold
I am moving on with wisdom and forgiveness
I forgive you which is being very Bold

For in forgiveness I can heal and not hurt so
I have let you go and know it's for the best
This love I have will go to someone better
My strengh to do this was nothing but a test

Goodbye this is the final time to face doubt
upon this subject which has caused us both much pain
It's time for you to pack your bags and get out
I am waiting for my life to start again.
