James Horn Poet Couplet

Step On the Scale

Step on the Scale

Woke up and was afraid of how I would feel
Would I be happy full of so much sex appeal
Or whole day ended up being big nightmare
As I complained a lot and started to swear.

Where was God when He had been needed?
While watching all my sins that stampeded
To do them temptation of often had to fight
Even though sins weigh nothing and are light.

Have any sins you actually tried to weigh
Stood on scale and long time seemed to stay
After that would start to moan and groan
Weight which I had seen was my very own.

Was loved by God and He gave me some slack
And many memories to me He brought back
But still from weight program proceeded to fail
Everytime when I would step on the scale.

Constance La France April 29, 2015 at 10:08 AM James, remember that old saying, you must love yourself just the way you are, weight problems are universal and cause lots of heartbreak, which you capture well in your poem, and thanks for visiting my poem, A day . . . James Horn April 29, 2015 at 5:30 PM Fortunately, I don't have any weight problems and hope I didn't offend any that might have had one. Sometimes the words just start flowing but don't necessarily correspond with my mind. Have to be careful. Jim Horn
