Lot's Wife

Uneasiness confirmed his words were right : There was a rottenness in all she knew. She, could not see where be was going to But love for him felt stronger than her fright.

Yet as they travelled on she was bereft Of every landmark but her husband's eyes: Her whole life echoed in her friends' good-byes. How could he take tbe place of all she'd left?

For his or their, but not for heaven's sake She made decisions: these two were opposed. He led her on his way; her eyes were closed. , At every step she felt her heart would break.

At this pointin the story comes a lie— People don't turn to statues if they find Love in their hearts for what they leave behind: They live and suffer or give up and die. lAvIrS stmmoNs
