Because no one told you there would be days like this,
because you would have ignored them anyways.
Because it’s not what you see in movies,
because tickets don’t sell that way.
Because love can disguise itself as hate,
because the days drag on and on and on.
Because family is a choice we make,
because we want and want and want.
Because being alone isn’t the hardest part,
because being together is.
Because your love is so complete,
because your love is his.
Because money isn’t a thing we want,
because it takes and takes and takes.
Because the days are cold and rough and hard,
because the nights are full of wake.
Because giving up isn’t an option,
because where would you go anyhow?
Because words are just words,
because you made a vow.
Because when no one else is on my team,
I know that you are.
Because my heart sometimes seems out of reach,
though my love is never far.
Marriage

Very nice job. I really like this poem. It is happy and sad and fully portrays the dichotomy of feelings that can go on in one person!

I love marriage, but it gets hard with everything going on. I never want anything else… even when it seems that way- I blessed to have a hubby who is the best team captain a girl could ask for!

I’m totally serious when I say this. Have you ever thought of releasing a book of your writings? I mean, everything you write it really wonderful. This piece was beautiful. I’ve read several of your letters to family, and I read a piece you wrote for a speech several months ago. You are a phenomenal writer.

This is so beautiful poem to read. I touches my heart. Being married to the love of our life is the best but sometimes we encounter problems and sometimes we are about to give up, then there are those vows that we said…for better or worst, till death do us part and we remind that it is just a piece of cake ad worth fighting for.

This is beautiful Chelley! Its true marriage is work, we all have our ups and downs. There is something about mine that just works. I look forward to every day with him even though there are struggles, I wouldnt change it for the world.

Hi!
I love this post 🙂
I am seriously one of your biggest fans. I am always telling my husband how much you inspire me with all the ways you advocate for your daughter and the larger community. Thank you for doing everything you do.
One thing.. “anyways” is not a word 🙁 I hate that word… but I still love you and all you do.
LOL! It’s the one non-word I do use! Thank you for the love <3 <3 <3
