The Queen, The Angel, And The Scribe By Rhonnie Besonday

Across a nation three lives meet, Lives alike and yet unknown. Strangers to each other, Yet three women of faith. One woman a Queen in power, Another Angel in sorrow and pain. The Scribe already across the abyss, All hearts the same and sanctified. Time passes as days go by, Lives unfold across a screen. Pasts all very much the same, Futures all given by the Grace of God. The Queen steps off her throne, With the love of an Angel. The Scribe prays constantly, Knowing her prayers are heard. Three strong willed women, With heads hard as stone. Sometimes battling each other, Not knowing the battle is already won.

Horror and hurt flow in their words, With more read between the lines. Frustration and anger at the past, God stepping in with an invisible hand. Slowly the days turn into months, As the friendships for them grow. All three faces streaked with unseen tears, When circumstances hurt any of the three. All three lives different and yet the same, Two a near perfect reflection of each other. One the candle the other the mirror, While the third watches and prays. Their lives touched daily by the Hand of God, Miracle after miracle provided for the three. Triumphs shared with tears of joy, Pains felt by the hearts of all three. The Angel learns that unconditional love is real, And the Queen is learning that the pasts bond can be broken. The Scribe learns humility and the wonder of God, All three faiths grow till they are unshakable.

Angry words are thrown at each other, Simply out of frustration and fear. Forgiveness is given freely by them, With the grace given them by God. Their lives so different and yet the same, Braided together as a cord of three. Alone all three would break under the strain, Together God knows the strength of the three. All three look at the pasts with eyes changing daily, Beginning to understand their place in this life. None know the answer as to the question why, But a purpose shall come from it to all who read. Others will learn of the pain they endured, The devastation and sorrow their lives produced. Triumph and joy when any of the three overcame, Terrible things most cannot ever understand. Each learning truths and wisdom from each other, As God shows them each their own mysteries. Two close together and one from afar, Lives that reflect their places on the map. They each silently thank God for the lives of the others, Knowing their strength is entwined with their number. They each walk away just to return once again, Lives separate but with hearts molded the same. The journey grows shorter with each days Sunshine, As the long endless nights are lit by the Stars. All three fill life with faith, love, and prayers, The Queen, the Angel, and the Scribe.
