Poem: "REGINA"

I wrote a poem one afternoon in 2009, and decided to call it "Regina", thinking in my "Tia" Aunt Regina, who was near 100 years old, at that time.  The name Regina has many meanings and connotations.  I was aware of this as a child.  It has always meant a lot to me, and we all love Regina a bunch!

REGINA

The times are against us,                        

Floundering in lost hope,

Through bitter darkness,

We navigate and grope...

How to unravel...

What's sealed in the Sacred Heart?

Unveil the secrets,

Towards the best path, we must chart...

The path is well trodden;

The way is now clear.

The sun re-awakens;

Sunrise is so near...

Yet the soul suffers anguish, has taken its toll...

What price must be paid, to reach the ultimate goal?

Justice waits with her golden scales.

Mercy, with wisdom, never fails!
