Decision from Heaven by Grant Harbison

Put yourself in her shoes

How would you choose?

When the one she loved only used

And even though he never abused

He wasn’t man enough to stay

Even with the knowledge of a child on the way

Left alone with a hasty decision

Fearing that people would vent their derision

If she chose to abort

Spouting vitriol of her and her sort

So put yourself in her shoes

No one to help and everything to lose

The sorrow of having to make that choice

Guilt conflicted with reality voice

Thinking that she’s committed a sin

That deep rooted indoctrination that stays within

You have done no wrong and never had a chance

But a soul remained in heaven for another to dance
