The Devil Makes Me Humble

 

 

The Major purpose of the devil

Lies within his beautiful garden,

For when I reach for the red roses

Not only do I feel the sting

Of the thorns, but the blood it draws

Reminds me I’m a human being.

 

The temptations I give into

become seeds in the soil for my soul.

For I can plant them and watch grow into white lilies.

 

And when they line my spiritual property

They are better than any gate

That keeps out the devil’s gardeners.

And the worms and insects in the soil

Just makes me try harder

To tend to my garden

And leave the devils alone.

we have to weigh our
decisions in life carefully
which garden path we want
to follow..the devil is forever
tempting. us to make the
wrong moves ..

You are so correct

[Poetic Beauty]

The devil is always tempting us in one way or another. I’m in the a tamping situation myself and I’m struggling with things on a daily so I completely understand this poem.

The devil is far too tempting. Teasing us with treats, but be sure we will pay for it later. We have choices, we have to ensure we make the right ones Dale. Meaningful words.

Lilies, representative of peace, that is the way to keep evil out...

love will overcome hate...
will overcome anger...
will overcome violence...

and we can sit on the patio and watch and drink to a future that is full of blossoms.

Thank you Jacob for your thoughts

[Coyote Poetry]

When we dance with the Devil. He always wins. I liked the honest thoughts and I understand. Better to stay away from the devil's ways and need. Easily we can fall. Powerful and worthwhile thoughts shared my friend.
