A Gift Returned
Enemies to the left of us
Enemies to the right
No choice but vigilance
day and night
Yet our most powerful enemy
lives in our hearts
He teases and tempts us
then tears us apart
He’s sent by the Almighty
as a test every day
Until we defeat him
all other enemies
will have their way
So let us trust Heaven
the One High Above
Return to Him what He gifts us
Let us gift Him our Love
