Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

A Voice Stirred From Within

When I stole a ball
   from the corner store
      Who are you
A voice stirred from within
   
When I told my best friend
   a bold-faced lie
     Who are you
A voice tugged from within
   
As I raised a hand
   to strike my child
      Who are you
A voice cried from within
  
As my good wife let me know
   she'd reached the end of her rope
That voice lay stock still 
   ~ I'd not done God's will
