Betrothed

C 2002

Can I go too far today?
How will I know my fate?
How do I give my heart away
For this another day?

When will I know of love divine?
What if he doesn’t come?
Could I handle such a pain this time?
I really just don’t know.
 
I’ve waited long for such a chance
To meet him face to face.
Could he know my heart, my hope
Of meeting him this day?
 
I glance into the star-lit night
And wish upon the stars.
Planning every moment of
When he is in my arms.

Oh stop.  I hear a sound afar
A gallop drawing nigh.
I hope and pray ‘tis him this time
I am to be his wife.

At the door, I hear a sound
I go to meet my fate.
Accept a letter of his demise
I fall beneath the weight.
 
“My love, I write to you just now
As I have little time.
They took my life but not my heart
For you kept it inside.
 
I go now to my Father
‘Twas my time, this time, to go.
I will forever love you
Darling know, I love you so.”
