A Debate of Conscience

Angel on my right shoulder battles devil on my left Ever guiding my actions, saving my soul from bereft Angels are among us, like Clarence on Stewart's bridge Reminding us to avoid falling from grace at the ridge My special angel's sweet voice sounds so much like my mother's We each have a conscience that is unlike any other's Spirits of loved ones who've passed want us to know heaven's joy So we’ll reunite with them and eternal bliss enjoy So, Mom, if you are listening, your voice overtakes evil Helping me find the right path, you have mastered soul retrieval A wonderful life is bestowed by a righteous urging From an angel observer seeking spiritual merging My sense of right and wrong will still create battles ahead But if I heed my mother’s voice, I’ll never be misled July 2, 2011 For the "Me Against Myself" contest
