Remember Lot's Wife

Remember Lot's wife
Who stopped and looked back
To her treasures in life;
Her heart could not retract.
Though a holy angel
Led them out with pity,
She turned and beheld
The fire upon her city.
No longer would be rife
Friends and home she bought;
Remember Lot's wife
Turned to a pillar of salt.
