Do you ever seem to hear
A voice that whispers in your ear;
From a voice you do not know
From a face that does not show?
Acceptance for a dirty deed,
Support for what you just need;
From a voice you do not know
From a face that does not show?
Does it give you a go ahead
No matter that angry words are said;
From a voice you do not know
From a face that does not show?
There is that voice that sounds so real
That causes us to bend and kneel
At the alter of his will
No matter what the cost…

Great job. I like the poem and I love rhyme. Could you please put the quote that you used in the Author's Notes? Thanks.
