Joy at Last

3 triplets in monorhyme

Bruised by clear neglect and abuse during younger years,
her long youth could be so called, a nightmare of arrears.
Only God could create a song out of her deep fears.

Immersed in His unique mercy, repenting in tears,
wonders began anew, latent blessing for her peers.
Song begun, past pardoned, anxiety disappears.

The remarks from old and new friends brought questions and cheers -
"What's happened?" "You are one eager engine with God’s gears.”
Her "life is a song" sung by angels in heaven's spheres.

Thankyou InkE…I appreciate your support and the third-place recognition. Your comment made my day - it's cold here and your warmth was a spark of hope.
