Backsliding
They say a watched pot never boils but this is not true
Most assuredly the paint will dry if you stick around too
Do you have the patience or will you let your attention concede
Are there more pressing matters to go to and see?
As you ascend will the temptations creep in
Waiting to pull you and have you descend?
You're in a better place now but the lion it waits
Whispering lies to enter your gates.
Be alert when times are good because they can flip in a moment
And when they do will you be ready or will you be caught hands folded
Old habits die hard and relapse is on the table
Is your faith strong are you willing and able?
Opportunities come in all shapes and sizes
Don't discriminate against the one's on the scale of termites
Because maybe one won't do much to the foundation on which you stand
But one becomes many if you don't stop to take a glance
So be vigilant against the little ones that pass by unspoken
Because the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they're too heavy to be broken
