Tentacles of Satan

Life is so full,
of temptations,
leading us,
away from the Father,
forgetting the love
of the Son,
the healing of the Savior
bringing us home
to our loving Father
So easy to be led astray
to follow the will of the world
to succumb to the many faces
the tentacles of Satan,
the tempter, leading us
to the darkness,
the false gratifications
the things of this earth,
fleeting and failing
Not lasting, like
the everlasting love of God
