“My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
Lend your ear to my understanding,
That you may preserve discretion,
And your lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey,
And her mouth is smoother than oil;
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death,
Her steps lay hold of hell.
Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable;
You do not know them.
Therefore hear me now, my children,
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house…”
-Proverbs 5:1-8
I wrote “Lesser than the Greater You Possess,”
as an answer
to a stranger’s question.
I wanted him to know that to depart from my wife,
whom I love more than myself,
for another
would be accepting something lesser than the greater
I now possess.
LESSER THAN THE GREATER YOU POSSES
A MAN ONCE SUGGESTED TO ME A PLACE
WHERE UPON I COULD DINE WELL
AND GAZE FONDLY UPON ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS.
I REPLIED THAT I RATHER NOT.
FOR THREE DECADES AND THREE,
I LOOKED BEFORE FINDING MY LIFE'S MATE.
AND IN THOSE THREE DECADES AND THREE,
I HAVE NEVER SEEN HER LIKE.
YET IN SIX DECADES AND SIX
IT IS BEYOND MIGHT;
THAT I WOULD NEVER FIND HER LIKE.
SO WHY LOOK,
WHY PONDER WHAT IF,
WHY IN MIND OR DEED PURSUE
LESSER THAN THE GREATER YOU POSSES
