Love of Her Life
by
Paul Curtis
Young and beautiful
She looked at the life ahead
With hope and optimism
But a life was planned for her instead
A loveless marriage
With a distant stranger
Arranged by her family
She decided was not for her
She gave her heart
To the love of her life
She listened to her heart
And not her fathers voice
She simply fell in love
With a man of her choice
She wanted too make a life
With the love of her life
The consequence of this love
So precious to her
Was shame on her family
And death for the dishonour
She risked her life
For the love of her life
Her cries for help
Went sadly unheeded
The cruelest punishments
For the love she needed
She gave her life
For the love of her life
Her father wanted to arrange her life
And cursed the love of her life
Her father took her life
Because of the love of her life
She wanted to live her life
With the love of her life
Make her safe in paradise
God protect her in the afterlife
