Triumph Through Tragedy

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

Three short years ago, twin sisters (one holding her one year old baby in one arm and holding the hand of her 7 year old daughter), their mother and another woman (ex-girlfriend Esther) were shot down by a evil abuser of women and then he took his own life. Esther was the mother of a dear sweet girl we call more than friend, we call family. To this day she stills misses her mother and always will, but she sees her everyday in the eyes of her young son. This is her story…prologue by Jan

Triumph Through Tragedy

Souls departed, love discarded!
Hate, abuse came forth born of an evil man.

Silence lay heavy on the encroaching darkness.
Shadows consumed the sun,
The day suddenly and violently turned into night…

Esther was gone, taken in her prime by evil.
Yet when she closed her eyes and drew her last breath
Jesus was standing by her side.

Jesus then smiled, reaching out his hand…
‘Come now with me dear one,
For today you shall sup with me in promised land.’

Tragedy and triumph is the tale of Maxx,
The loving daughter of Esther,
Her mother whom by the hand of an evil, vicious man was taken too early in life,
Yet still a part of God’s plan.
For thus by this evil deed,
Came forth Maxx, a young woman determined in life to succeed.
Her story is a testimony to all that hath ear should hear.
Violence against a woman in any form has not a place near.

Maxx is strong,
She endures and for her child carries on.
May the blessings of our Father who art in Heaven follow her all her days.

May we soon understand, peace and love makes the way.
