A Strong Womans Rebirth

She loved him from the moment they met His arms ‘round her, the passion felt She welcomed his love with no regret With every kiss, her heart would melt! The years flew by, and life evolved He began to change, she knew not why She vowed his problems could be solved He promised to change, he would try... But when bruises came with abuse She sheltered her children from harm Then came the day her mind let loose From deep within her soul, the alarm… She had struggled thru most of her life Under the hammer of low esteem Trying her best to be the good wife A new existence, hers to redeem! The children gone, she bid him farewell There lay before her an open book From the pages left, her heart would swell Going forward without a backward look To the chapter that was a living hell.
