Without a Parachute the Other Flies

Never let your heart win the debate

If your mind has a cogent argument.

They both wander from time to time;

One has a temperament to analyze,

Without a parachute the other flies.

Judy Ball Date: 4/30/2019 12:28:00 PM The Bible tells us that above all things the heart is deceitful.
