Walk Away

Before a sin I'm about to commit I will think with both my wisdom and wit, Before a forgiveness that I will need to pray I would just rather, just walk away. Before I take a beloved to my bed I must listen to the emotions and what is said, Before with a love that I will lay I would just rather, just walk away. Before I listen to that one more lie Then in my bed at night I scream out, "Why"! Before with a liar that I will stay I would just rather, just walk away. Before I hear any person spew out a curse With vulgarity and insults to others they do immerse, Before one word of profanity that anyone will say I would just rather, just walk away. Before I judge or tell anyone about their sin First into my soul I will look deep within, Before on a judging scale I do ever weigh I would just rather, just walk away. I will walk, and I will walk, as far as I can Until I have walked away from transgression as is my plan, Before any belief or honor that I might betray I would just rather, just walk away. Randy L.
