And the shadows that creep near,
To discern the light from darkness,
And the whispers we should fear.
And the lies that twist and bend,
To filter out the noise around us,
And find the voices of a friend.
Whether warm or cold, it’s clear,
A friend’s embrace brings comfort,
While an enemy’s grip brings fear.
From honor’s praise to critic’s bite,
To savor every moment’s flavor,
And choose to stand for what is right.
The schemes that linger in the air,
To recognize the hidden motives,
And be wise in how we care.
Our senses guide us through the strife,
And though the enemy may plot,
Our God is the vengeance, the source of life.
With wisdom as our guiding light,
For goodness will prevail in the end,
And truth will conquer the night.
