She Sits Alone

She sits alone among the pews A word she will not even share She listens to the gospel news Of One whose life they would not spare A word she will not even share Because deep in thought is she Of One whose life they would not spare On top that hill called Calvary Because deep in thought is she When thinking of the things He's done. On top that hill called Calvary The price He paid so she'd overcome When thinking of all the things she's done Then wonders why He loves me The price He paid so she'd overcome Will be the thing that sets her free Then wonders why He loves me As she accepts this love that's given Will be the thing that sets her free So that she can enter heaven As she accepts this love that's given A new life will surely now begin So that she can enter heaven To now and forever be with Him A new life will surely now begin She listens to the gospel news To now and forever be with Him She sits alone among the pews

You've offered a great poem on what I believe to be one of the hardest poetry forms to write. Well done indeed.

Thank you for those kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've had other people tell me the same thing about this style but I find it to be my favorite style to write in. Seeing as half the poem writes itself it's a great style for a story.

A beautiful tribute; a hymnal could not have been any better written.
