Mary Had A Secret

	we met at redhead Mary's house on a Bible study night
	I heard she was a rebel once until she saw the light
	then in the backseat of a crowded car after weeks of holding hands
	she was slipping me the tongue among her Christian friends
	we could chuckle and talk for hours
	and then one night over the phone
	she went and told me her best friend’s secret
	after she had lowered her tone
	it was all about forgiving and so
	she thought that God would want me to know
	her older sisters had both moved out and her parents were divorced
	her mother lived in a trailer park, not big, but she had a porch
	and on top of the piano laid a cat with evil paws
	her father he was a proud Nam vet I think she hardly saw
	we would chuckle and talk for hours
	and then one night over the phone
	she went and told me her best friend’s secret
	after she had lowered her tone
	it was all about forgiving and so
	she thought that God would want me to know
	the old piano she could play so nice she had later sadly sold
	the money was invested in the church her husband owned
	she had a kid when I looked her up and another on the way
	and when we waved our last goodbye she said that she would pray
