Dust and Smoke

I originally wrote this song for a friend of mine. I didn't expect it to become a part of my testimony later on in life.

His words were convincing;
He was clever.
His words were deceitful,
And she never
Thought she could be so foolish
As to believe them.

Her words are honest,
Her intentions, pure.
Her heart longs for love,
Her spirit stires
As she thinks upon this mistake
She never intended to make.

All she sees beyond the ruins
Is the dust and the smoke
But when the dust settles
And the smoke clears,
She realizes she is going to be
Made into something much more
Beautiful than before.
