Drunken nights dispel my sad.
Smoking and surfing on the net,
And kissing girls that I just met.
No! I won’t call them next day,
Just can’t help it, I like to stray.
A small voice asks me all too soon.
Do you dream of goodness?
Maybe once, in a blue moon.
Mum’s sickness won’t go away,
Doctors say she’ll die one day,
Quite soon. But I’m stuck here,
Far away, with my cold beer.
I love her and I should go back,
Is it duty or guilt attack?
A small voice asks me all too soon,
Is there a purpose in this?
No! It’s like the Devil’s kiss.
I’m here with mum. Good son,
Doing things I should have done,
long ago. Reminded of the past,
Happy childhoods never last.
Chain smoking but healing hurts,
Being with mum and ironing shirts.
A small voice asks me all too soon,
Is it a blessing, your time with mother?
I cherish mum more than any other.
Then I meet her, ballroom dance,
Hair in a sunbeam, me in a trance.
Mum is gone, but who is this?
She’s far too nice, for a casual kiss.
Goes to church, reads the Book,
Won’t give me a second look.
A small voice asks me all too soon.
Still in the mood for casual flings?
No! I feel the call to nicer things.
At last she has agreed to date,
I’m so happy, can hardly wait.
Will we kiss? Hmm, not sure. Anyway,
There’s more than that in her allure.
Can you believe she got me thinking?
I’m studying Bible and hardly drinking.
A small voice asks me all too soon:
Don’t you miss your sinful ways?
No! I’m looking out at better days.
I’ve read the bible, page to page,
And working for some extra wage.
Sitting in church thought “lots to buy”,
Including a ring that made her cry.
Our faith in God our binding thread,
My girl and me are getting wed!
The Holy Spirit asks me all too soon.
Back then, did you know it was me?
Gosh! Not once, in a blue moon.
Thanks God! I owe everything to you.
