Poetry: Trials & tribulations

The Mistress

You delighted in sin
For the sake of love.
Your deeds scorned by
God in Heaven above.

You were helping him grow
In the Lord, you said.
Another‘s husband,
Lying in your bed.

Your sin prevailed.
His marriage, you knew
Would be shattered,
As your belly grew.

You birthed his son,
Then became his wife.
God forgave, but did He
Forget your prior life?

He took them away,
Both husband and son.
Still young, you sit sad and
Alone because they are gone.

God tests you, and permits
Satan to have his way.
For the sake of love,
Now, choose your fate.
