Haiku
Gluttony and Temperance
Crave more than you need
A glutton for food or things
Gluttons must have more
A temperate person
Satisfied with what he has
Never wanting more
But do I speak truth
We are all gluttons at times
And show temperance too
We must fight the urge
That lives in each one of us
Woe the fight is one
God provides our needs
Our wants are just so tempting
Display self control
Temperance overrides
The glutton that lives within
A still small voice speaks
Hear the voice within
Even though it speaks so soft
Gentle voice rings true
Once a glutton’s soul
Now a temperate soul reborn
God is at the helm
