Our Apple Tree
Helping others avoid temptation....
Our Apple Tree
Glorious last spring, festooned with blossoms.
The sprayings and waterings,
The promised fruit near grown.
The neighbors saw them, too.
Red, ripe, delicious, God’s gift for the taking.
Forbidden fruit it’s true.
It’s mine. I could share with you.
It made me sad that you would lust and steal.
I should not tempt you so.
Spring came again, no blossoms there.
No gifts for the taking.
I saved you from the lust and theft.
The tree no longer stands.
