Be Not Tempted By Gold's Glittering Brights

Be Not Tempted By Gold's Glittering Brights Where couldst man find rest when heart has deceived loved ones he wouldst happily give his all, whilst on dark paths, false laurels thus received profits only fools under fallen walls! Shadows presenting wicked and false lights oft penetrate even truest of hearts, find only false moons on blackest of nights sailing on festered seas with lying charts! Hold firm sweet truth, know its blessings are fair life is far more than wealth gotten with schemes, its love and family with friends to share treasures and bounty from realized dreams! Be not tempted by gold's glittering brights. Embracing such greed brings saddest of plights. Robert J.
