Being a Christian Is Darn Hard:But Worth the While

He sits at a park bench, Having his lunch as usual, And as he tries to take a bite of his delicious sandwich, He bites his finger... She walks gracefuly past him, Swinging her hips with much pride and gist, Her cologne seems to be pulling him behind her, And he takes two steps ready to devour her seductive seductions, But then he trips back to his senses, And remembers he is not to give in to the flesh, Thus walks the opposite direction, Reminiscing how being a christian, is darn hard but worth the while. She basks peacefuly at the side of the swimming pool, Enjoying her off-day free of work, Sipping her lemonade then suddenly there is shade. She opens her eyes, Sees the buffed up figure, Cubes as precise as the hardness of diamond, Her eyes salivate, Her mouth perspirate, He lifts her up with his disturbingly beautiful arms, And he heads to the changing room. It all seemed a dream, She was literally swept off her feet... But along the way, she stopped him. She got down from his arms and ran, Scared of what she might have done, Realising that being a christian, is darn hard but worth the while. 2years out of rehabilitation, A year into his new found salvation, He had not had a drink that long, And he was not planning to any time soon. But as fate would have it, Destiny's plans were quite different. Promoted to Vice Chair, The boys decie to take him to a night out, Afterall his wife was away on vacation, So what would be his reason of not having a little fun? Rounds and rounds of beer come, But he sticks to his coke, Till he is called chicken and he wants to prove that he is eagle. One bottle down, Together with 3years of dedication, 2nd one halfway, then he hears a still voice urging him to stop. He does...stands up and walks away, Repenting the misdeed, And admits that being a christian is darn hard but worth the while.
