Love Poem: Torn

Torn

Torn between my love for this life, 
and love for my God; 
Saten is all around me, 
he follows the paths I trod. 
I am just a poor simple man, 
trying my familys needs to meet. 
I find temptations everywhere, 
Saten throws them at my feet. 
My brain it plays tricks on me, 
when I follow I always take part; 
The things that Saten places before me, 
that I don't want to do at heart. 
For it is my brain and not my heart, 
that always leads me astray; 
For the tricks of Saten are cleaver, 
and games always fun to play. 
So I need to follow my heart instead, 
and do what I know is right; 
And keep the promises of the lord, 
fore front in my sight. 
For when it is the Lords will, 
that I keep in front of me; 
I know the reward I will receive, 
and heaven is where I will be.
