CHRONICLES OF ALENE COLLINS
CHRONICLES OF ALENE COLLINS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alene Collins, a tender soul in tumultuous terrain,
Touched by turmoil, torn by tenderness & pain.
She grew in her teenage testimonies, trials & tears,
She's her grandparents' guiding light across the years.4
Separated at birth, scared and unseen,
Sorrow silently settled in her serene.
Without a father's face, she learned to thrive,
A mother's love she longed to feel alive.8
Separated at birth, in silence she grew,
Her heartache hidden, her dreams askew.
7 years young, her grandparents' arms she found,
Firm foundations 'midst chaos she abound.¹²
Fractured bonds with a mom who drift
And whose choices caused aching rifts,
Frayed edges of their bond breached & swift,
Broken & burdened with unspoken shifts.¹6
Fueled by love, though bruised and scarred,
Fathomless forgiveness, her heart unmarred.
Despite the pain her mother's actions bade,
Love and respect within her heart stayed.²°
Fighting demons, depression's dawning frown,
Frail fragments of hope, her darkness did drown.
Facing forwards forlornly, fighting fears,
Flourishing through floods of fallen tears.²4
Grandma's guidance, a strict & sturdy hand,
Guarding gently in her life's shifting sand.
Through the fog of hardship, she found her way,
Glistening resilience in the light of day.²8
Alene Collins, a tale of strength untold,
In her resilience, she holds a heart of gold.³°
