My Ten Commitments
I Promise

I’ll worship God and only God
On crooked paths I will not trod
To idols I will never pray
So worthless, helpless, lifeless they
I’ll never take God’s name in vain
Or blaspheme His Almighty reign
I’ll go to church and worship Him
To fill my chalice to the brim
I’ll always honor Mom and Dad
Recount the family years we had
A persons blood I’ll never spill
A child conceived I’ll never kill
I’ll keep my vows and never cheat
No indiscretion will I greet
Whenever hungry, I won’t steal
I’ll trust in God for my next meal
I won’t connive, I won’t be sly
I won’t deceive, I will not lie
I won’t desire my neighbor’s wife
Nor covet someone else’s life

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
