I Heard A Little Whisper. Poem by David Boyce

I heard a little whisper.

I heard a little whisper,
Which makes me feel really sad,
A friend who has an illness now,
And the outcome is really bad.

Many years ago they enticed people to smoke,
As a form of excitement and a thrill
But with the medical science today,
They can prove smoking can kill.

It hurts me just to think of them,
And my heart is full of sorrow,
As I know the illness is severe,
And they may not be here tomorrow.

So for all those people who are ill,
Tonight together we all will pray,
For you all touched our hearts in this life,
God bless, until we meet again one day.
