Choices

Curled on the couch into a ball,
She hears the voices in the halls,
Hears the laughing, screaming, talking,
Hears the skipping, running, walking.
The movies go, one after another,
The theme the same, love for the other.
As the tears pour down her face,
She prays the Lord, for his grace,
His strength she needs to make it through.

The choices in her life were tough to make,
The choices in her life were for her own sake.
She was tired, she was sick,
Giving herself away to any old Sam or Dick.
She wanted the next one to be the last,
She wanted to forget her awful past.
She wanted to live on God's great glory,
She wanted to say to God she was sorry,
She wanted to love and get the same in return.

So she changed her ways,
And made the most of her days.
She pledged herself to the one and only Son,
And lived each day for only one.
Today she's happy, today she's proud,
Today she's walking, today she's found
The boy who waited, the boy who said,
With this ring I thee wed.
Simply by saying that she'd only wait,
And choosing never again to date,
Until the day a boy came along,
Who wasn't a boy, but a man.
