The Faithful WomanThere is nothing more embittering, than the trials and tribulations,
faced by the faithful woman of an imprisoned man.
The shame and
stigma of prison fall upon her innocent shoulders even more
than his, for she must meet the 'I told you so' of society.
Tormented by the painful fires of adversity, lashed by the cruel
tongues of ridicule made by hypocritical friends, she wages a
brave fight to preserve dignity for the man she loves.
Certainly,
there exists no greater test of love than this.
She must bear the ridicule of her own relatives and very often
relatives of the man she loves.
Yet they say that blood runs
thicker thanwater???
Unhappiness and discomfort prod her soul, every day the hurts in
her soul grieve more bitterly.
Scoundrels try to dissuade her from
the path of loyalty.
Yet, she fights on bravely, waiting for the man she loves, to return.
Not ever does she receive the proper appreciation, the bitterness
of her struggle is not fully known even to the man for whom it is
made.
For she is silent as the courageous always are: she is the worthy
inspiration of the man behind bars.
They both long for the day to
return to each others the measures of happiness of which both have
been deprived.
She is the person whom society gives little credit.
Few can
understand the fullness of love by which she is united to her man.
It
is her faith and confidence in him, that often gives back to the
world a
decent man.
It is through her loyalty and honest efforts that he realizes, he has
a debt to pay, a debt far greater than that which he owes society: it
is his debt to her. That is a debt that he can not ever fully repay,
but one which inspires him to greater efforts.
She is his queen among queens. For she bears the regal qualities
that we associate with a woman: courage, faith, loyalty and nobilty.
