Beyond The Walls by Lana Marie
    Unexpected Romance Contest Winner 

Hurt too many times, her heart bore the scars,

Three children in tow, her guiding stars.

Behind her poised and elegant veneer,

Lay doubts and fears no one could hear.

A suitor appeared, with a child of his own, 

Drawn to her beauty, her quiet tone.

He saw in her eyes a story untold,

A heart that was guarded, abused, yet bold.

Twice married, twice divorced , her confidence torn,                                                                  
past full of shadows she tried to mourn.

She braced herself, unsure and afraid,  

The wounds of abuse too fresh to fade.

But he stood firm, his patience profound.

Unwavering love in every word and sound.

Her walls were high, her defenses steep,

Yet he believed in the treasure they’d keep.

He saw not her flaws, nor the weight of her past,

But a future together, steady and steadfast.

A hero, he became to her and her three,

A love that would heal, a safe place to be.

Step by step, her heart found its way,

To trust once more, to hope, to stay.

What once seemed broken now starts anew,     

A story of courage, of love breaking through.
