My Brother

My Brother

Oh brother of mine
Oh brother so true
What did I
Ever do to you

That you would hurt me
And leave me here
Sitting alone
With you to fear

They told me don't trust you
I'd only get burnt,
But I didn't listen
I was already hurt

Now I still love you
And I miss you, too
This lesson I learned
Was to forgive you.

The poem "My Brother" was my way of expressing that I had no hardfeelings about the past with my older brother who I had not had a good relationship with. Each time he hurt me, people, includingmy family would tell me not to trust him if he didn't earn it, but I kept trusting him, and he kept getting more and more violent, and terrifying me. this poem is an expression of the forgiveness God enabled me to give.

My New Life

Wow! I have now been married for a month and a half. We are in Colorado, and I have a new job. God is so good to us. My husband got his old job back as soon as we got here, and it took less than a month for me to find a job. Our wedding went well. the croud was significantly smaller than we expected, due to a flu epedemic in the area, but those that made it helped make it memorable... We got a number of great pictures to rememberthe occation and share with others.
