Alone in the chapel, falling apart Unveiling the wounds of her tortured heart Seeking solace in quiet of the night Wishing and praying her instincts aren't right. The true love of her life has gone astray She saw him with someone else yesterday Hoping she had got things completely wrong That he'd been faithful to her all along. She cannot believe that they may be through And is undecided what she should do He hasn't told her anything face to face And hopes to be blessed with merciful grace. She prayed that he would be back tomorrow To sooth away the pain of her sorrow She could not stand the idea that he Was in love with another somebody. Suddenly there was a tap on her back She turned around, it was her sweetheart Jack He kissed her and said in all honesty ‘Twas his sister he was with yesterday.

Thank you Tom - only one day for Christmas is going to be heartbreaking for lots of families this year with all the plans made being upset, just awful. Belle

Hi Belle, This is an excellent entry for the contest theme. Good title, rhymes, and content. It's a good thing that what she thought she saw; wasn't the case. Well done. Best wishes in the contest. Enjoy the rest of your day and weekend:-) Alexis
