The Demon at the Door

There is a demon at your heart’s door, He’s been around since days of yore. His goal is to become your kin, And corrupt your life from within. He is a liar and a thief, Don’t let him in, he’ll bring you grief. He promises to give you joy, But alas! your life he’ll destroy. Our forebears listened to his voice and crassly made a careless choice. Because of this, we have within a strong propensity to sin. When the demon his weapons wield, The choice is yours, resist or yield. You are not left to fight alone, Your helper hails from heaven’s throne.

an inspirational poem, David. I love the strength and conviction in your words. We all do have a propensity to sin. I need to be more aware :-) enjoy your evening, Sara
