Dorcas Brefo Donkor - October, 2024A Love That Endures
In shadows of mental illness's night He struggled, lost in its plight. A gentle soul, intelligent and bright, Clouded by darkness, lost from sight. She stood by him, through every test, Prayed for healing, did her best, Two precious children, their love did bear, Legacy of hope, amidst despair. Shadows of doubt and fear did creep, Like thorns that pierced, their love did weep, His inner turmoil, a war to fight, Silent screams, in endless night. But still she prayed, and held on tight, To God's sovereignty, shining light. Though darkness raged, like a raging sea, She trusted Him, to set him free. His battle ended, and he passed away, Leaving her with tears, night and day. Yet, in grief, she found a voice to say, "God's love remains, come what may". By faith, she knows he's in a better place, Free from pain, with a radiant face. But from where she stands, with earthly eyes, She yearns to see that glorious surprise. To behold his smile, untainted by strife, To witness peace, that eluded life. Though faith assures her, he's at rest, Her heart longs for a physical glimpse of what's best. Their children rise, with every dawn, Testaments to love that's never gone. His legacy lives on, A story told, of love that's strong.
