Notes About The Poem

The Devil Came Knocking At My Door

The Devil came knocking at my door,
Coming in disguise, enticing me to the dance floor.
He whispered in my ear, saying he owned my soul.
Then I felt his manipulative evil, trying to take control.

I got out my Bible and began to read His word.
And I knew my prayers to God had not gone unheard.
Be careful which door you decide to open,
If you lose perspective, you could end up lost and broken.

Great advice and needed warning to heed Brenda, indeed the devil does come knocking but by his grace we don't need to open it. Have blessed day, Gordon
