When Under Attack

When you're under attack you have to watch your back
Don't lose focus of your surrounding you must stay on track
keep your sight stable and your head level
and stay girded up and ready to fight that devil

Some situations in life can really throw you for a loop
And if your not careful it will show you how low you can stoop
With things in life you must learn how to cope
And continue to empower your mind so you don't lose hope

There's power in the tongue so speak good over yourself
instead of feeling despair think thoughts of great wealth
God equipped you with a powerful mind so let it work for you
If you use it as it was intended His grace will see you through 

When under attack don't look back look ahead
and stay in God's Word so your soul can be fed
You'll find strength to keep you standing tall
and with God on your side you can  scale that wall.

Thank you for reading my poem about "a change of heart." I suspect (wrongly perhaps) your poem is about Mrs. Davis and her conscience. If so, you may want to read my take on her decision. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
