The Redeemer by Sandy Rochelle

The Redeemer

40 years since you choose the wrong husband.

And your regret is palpable.

Somehow your beauty remains untouched.

Your tormentor now gone.

You have magically sidestepped your history.

You have redeemed what seemed nonredeemable.

Your light embraces us all.
