The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Smoke and Mirror

Beware of your surroundings at all times,
inside some hearts, are darkened chimes.
 To God be true, to thyself the same,
trust and believe in Jesus name.
 For good people, are surely their prey,
so to the Lord, we should truly pray.
 To walk in goodness, with each step we take,
and to know the real, from the fake.
 Always watching, because shadows will appear,
for they gather round, with smoke and mirror.
 To kill, to steal, and to destroy you and me,
for in their hearts, is no love, you see.
 So be watching and praying, and always be aware,
there are those shadows, who do not care.
