in a moment of temptation
i prayed for my salvation
lured in by your attention
and absolute perfection

to do something very foolish
knowing better but not to do it
something seemingly so harmless
for your flirting never quit

i have no right to love you, sweets
i would never claim i did
but you told me that you loved me
still my love for you i hid

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Temptation really can play with our choices can't it?
Very nicely put across Faith.
I enjoyed the read.

Take our chances time after time. Nothing is a given, it is true some people do wrong. Still, until we take that chance, how will we know? Nice poetry.

Words to the wise Faith...Some of us have a terrible time resisting temptation...I'm a sucker for chocolate and doughnuts etc..

Yep and I can't resist a People magazine. I tell myself, "step away from the magazines, Alison.  Just step away."  But, it never works.  There is one beside me as I write.

Seriously, I like this faithmariree.
