IN REMEMBRANCE OF TIMARLA TALDON

Poem Commentary

This poem was written about my cousin who was gunned down by her ex-boyfriend at the age of 25. He was a predator and she became his prey as he hid for 6hrs in her car while she worked. When she hit the time clock and opened the door of her car that predator rose up from the back seat, shot her three times, twice in the chest and once in the neck, and fled. Leaving Timarla to struggle for her life. A battle she eventually lost.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF TIMARLA TALDON

I know that the lost of this loved one has caused much pain.
But this is one death that does not have to be in vain.
Timarla Taldon's time was cut short.
Her life was a struggle from the very start.
I remember seeing her as an infant with both legs in a cast.
Now God has spoken and said, "Her pains shall not last."
Someone needs to realize that Death does not take the old alone.
Let this become real to you now that it has hit so close to home.
You were fearfully and wonderfully made to bring God glory.
I could stand here all day and tell you the story,
About a man who came, gave his life so we may live.
And when the storms come he speaks, "Peace be still."
You see, Jesus is still the way, the truth and the life.
Being obedient even unto Death, He alone paid the price.
We say in our foolishness that some things must be.
But Christ died so that you and I may be free.
Timarla, you are missed so very much.
Never did we imagine we would come together for a time as such.
Not so quickly! Not right now! Not so soon!
But I guess the Father has finished preparing your room.
You are gone now and entered in His rest.
By your short time spent here all of us were blessed.
                         "WE LOVE YOU TIMARLA"

Bless you in your time of lose. This was a very heart felt writing, and that was easily known. This is also a great way to get the message out about domiestic violence, so that none of the deaths have to be in vain. Your faith is strong and strongly felt. Great poem. Thank you for sharing it.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
