FAITH
You said the words, you took the vows,
To love forever... but it’s over now.
Your words were lies, your love untrue.
Your actions so selfish, your thoughts only of you.
What once was holy, now lies in ash.
Her love of a lifetime is now in the past.
To pick up the pieces of a lifetime apart,
Is frightening and painful. What does she start?
The Lord is her guide, and he shoulders her dread.
So she can face the world, and what lies ahead.
She finds strength in prayer, faith in the light.
Somehow she knows things will turn out all right.
The secret of life, the tool you need...
Is have faith in yourself, and in life you’ll succeed.
