Shattered Dreams

Shattered Dreams

She gave up those that loved her
On the day that she said, "I do"
She knew she'd made a mistake
Before the wedding was through

The church hall was overflowing
As her friends gathered all around
For this wedding was long awaited
And was the biggest one in town

She had waited so many years
To choose herself a special man
She wondered what people would think
If she refused to give him her hand

But she was a lady of honesty
Who pledged to say, "I do"
Many years later, he's still the same
Now she wishes she said, "We're through"

She made her bed and now lays in it
And it breaks my heart in two
To know her spirit is so broken
And she's not the girl, I once knew

Today would have been her 22nd Anniversary
Her marriage ended 11/2011

Continue to stand strong, God will see you through!
