Chad Obrien Poet Rhyme

To Attempt To Not Be Tempted

To attempt to not be tempted,
It requires so much will.
But to actually not be tempted,
Is a dream one doubts to fill.

To attempt to not be tempted, 
Is beyond a dream that's true.
Yet it takes a certain greatness,
One strives to follow through.

Anne Hessler September 20, 2015 at 11:05 PM Temptation is hard to avoid. This is a beautiful poem. Chad Obrien September 20, 2015 at 11:08 PM Thanks, Anne! I wrote this back in middle school and found an old 'anthology' I made in the 8th grade, a notebook filled with poems. I'm 19 now. I'll be uploading them by the day along with newer ones! Appreciate your compliment!
