delight the eyes—but perfume—where is it
Their beauty surely tricks the mind
This flower bouquet is the soft-silk kind
Mannequins tease while on display
Their life-like smiles say “Dress this way”
Designer tags set them apart
from look-a-likes at thrifty marts
Life can be expressed through gifted hands
Stories on canvas, sculptures on stands
Each piece reveals its makers heart
What feeling did they want to impart
Original talent when copied may fool
even the best trained eye from the finest school
In this world evil attempts to deceive
So study God’s words and in Him believe
Know that He’s real, His love cannot fail
Satan just laughs when lives get derailed
Our Father in heaven wants for you, what is best
In Kingdom treasures, that’s where to invest
When lured by a hook stuck in your pride
Allow the Good Book to assist and guide
When weakness adds a new link to your chain
Pause and request God’s forgiveness again
Wisdom gained will help you beware
of fraudulent schemes, they’re everywhere
Rock solid faith will keep you on task
Whenever in doubt, it’s God you should ask
Don’t befriend a wolf in sheep clothes
Who temps you onto his path of woes
Trust and believe in God’s words alone
Until He comes calling to take you back home
