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

I agree....my most powerful enemy is my danged ego! It teases and tempts me constantly. Your poem reminds me to be vigilant and trust Him. Powerful poem.
