Temptation



A woman's smile and sexy lips,
Her tapered waist and curvy hips,
The long lean legs and bouncing breasts,
Temptation in a skin-tight dress.

Her glowing eyes and flowing hair,
The tempting skin and bosom bare,
Avoid desire, don't go astray,
To languish in pleasure today.

Leave temptation, respect your wife,
Love and cherish her all your life,
Grow together throughout the years,
To share joy, peace, sadness and tears.

If temptation knocks at your door,
Turn away as you did before,
Marriage you see is made for two,
Remain always faithful and true.
