Gehenna Gone By

Gary Edward Geraci

 

Sin to lead she wills to seduce,
The nuptials we made, to reduce.
I’ve seen couples hurt and pained,
So as to absolve now, to refrain.

To live with the thick and the thin,
To declare now that I’m all in.
The rational, not a flickering flame,
Here today, gone tomorrow, it’s all the same.

True, the temptations are great,
The devil whispers full of hate.
But with an army of chaste saints...
A prayer life not for the faint...

My own soul bolstered by grace...
Friends and family are saved from disgrace.
You’re young, kind, your beauty aglow,
Know this my dear, my resolve is “No.”

    Gary,

    A great write for a “healthy” read!

    By maintaining a strong resolve, we will remain true to ourselves without compromising our beliefs!
