Missing In Love
They made a pact before he went off to war
That on his return they would wed
He became missing in action in a land so hostile and far
She cried when she heard the news they had alleged
The disappointment drove her over the edge
Turning to alcohol to relieve her pain
Saddened by the broken pledge
Now she would never see him again
But he had been rescued and did return
He searched for her from sunrise till setting sun
Of her whereabouts he was fain to learn
But the one he loved had become a nun
He was depressed, his heart broken in two
And to a higher power she had become faithful and true
For Paula's "Pact" contest
