Your Conscience
I am here to guide you each step of the way.
You don’t always listen to what I have to say.
When you sin, a small jab may inflict a slight pain.
It is my small reminder against erring again.
I needle and nag you when you would do wrong
or sometimes let you go while I just tag along.
I’m your friend and protector and am doing my best
to help you do better in this Earthly test.
When you picture heaven, I am one of the crew
who is taking the picture to let you see the view
of what you’ll be missing if you take the wrong way
and though you ignore me I am here for the stay.
Your guardian angel guards you while I am your guide.
You are so willful that you need both of us on your side.
You won’t ever see me but you’ll know I am here
when I whisper reminders to your heart and your ear.
I am here on God’s orders to guide you the right way,
to the pathway to Heaven and to not let you stray.
You know me as Conscience. Please heed me I pray
as I nudge you and shove you into Heaven some day.
