David Gordon Poet Rhyme

Somebody Else's Arms

When I feel hurt and so alone

And tears come to my eye,

When all I need’s a sweet embrace, 

Someone to stand close by,

The devil comes to me and says

“I will be here for you.

I’ll lend a hand and I will cheer

You up when you feel blue.

Now come here and let me hold you 

And take you in my arms.

Yes, I will keep you comforted 

And safe from all alarms.”

Then I tell Satan “No thank you.

For I do not think so.

Stop telling lies to me right now, 

Things you want me to know. 

Oh can’t you see I found someone 

To whom my love is true?

And he will even do the things

That you said you would do.

This man, He loved me so much that 

He died upon a tree.

He suffered, bled, and took my place 

In pain and agony.

Yes, He will keep me comforted

And safe from every harm.

Now Satan, look and see I’m in 

Somebody else’s arms.”
