The changing of love, living with another husband16 total reviews
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Marjon this poem will resonate with every person who has lost a loved one from many conditions where the person that we once knew, "slowly disappears before our eyes," and we are powerless, as is the person caught in its grasp, to stop the monster from consuming both of you.
Any long term disease only starts the list of those conditions that can change your life forever.

Suzanna, I appreciate your reviews so much, as they are always understanding. Thanks for that and, of course, for the six stars.
Comment from richie b
Marjon,
This is very deep well written poem. Words such as these
do not come from the writers pen but from a wounded heart. I
admire the whole poem but am in awe of the last stanza:
An apology becomes a compliment
knees that kneeled too much
crumbles pride into powder
too small
to be of value
Your poem is written in the language of angels. Your heart will be healed. You have spiritual courage.
Blessings and Prayers,
Richie b

Writing is very therapeutic. I started writing in 1995 when I was caring for my dad. This had to be a very hard and heart-breaking time for you. It comes across in the poem.

Comment from Cindy Decker
Hello, Marjon, a very deeply moving poem. On one hand you talk about being not so much in love, but then you mention the touching, church and in emergencies--all the times true love counts. The contrast is beautiful.
Also you mention when an apology is a compliment. I love your words, I have never heard an apology described this way before.
An excellent poem.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Cindy, thank you so very much for your understanding words and review. What I can describe about my feelings for my now deceased husband, is a deep, profound love. Without that I think I would not have been able to care for him at home during almost three years. But it was not anymore the romantic "being IN love" that we had before. That is what I wanted to say with "not so much in love".

Thank you, Marjon for clarifying that. I?m sorry you experienced such deep sorrow. I lost a man when I was 38. He was ill for 5 weeks. It was difficult losing someone who pardoned my shortcomings, was even entertained by some of them. It was the first time in my life that dorks and magic faded and gave way to such loyalty.
Have a wonderful night.
Best wishes.
Cindy

An emotion filled work of poetry. Well written. Good flow and rhymes. That has to be the hardest test of human strength giving your all to a loved one who may not recognize you. No edits or adjustments to suggest.

Thank you very much for your review, Lance. It was very, very hard to do. But I am glad I could keep him at home with me.

I love this Marjon. There is so much to relate to. A close relationship with a spouse, is like a murky stream with hidden stones, one spends a lot of time stumbling, but deep learning comes into the equation, and stumbling becomes negotiable, that's what I gleaned from this fabulous write, bless you.
