LOVE OF HER LIFE

 

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 cruellest 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
