THE PATH TO DESTINY

THE PATH TO DESTINY

Trembling, she stood at the rail,
Looking at the darkness of the water below;
This was her path to destiny,
So many lonely years ago.

She sat there, trembling,
As she thought how close she came
To ending her life in the darkness
As the water called her name.

Into his arms she turned,
Trembling with relief and joy;
In the darkness he held her close
Her one true love, her boy.

Trembling as he placed the ring
On the finger of her left hand;
No darkness in her destiny,
No more the water can demand!
