Apples Of Gold


They say an apple a day
keeps the doctor away.
Go on! Have some apples
Of gold, in a setting of silver.
They’ll keep from trouble,
Or keep you from stumbling,
Or keep you from struggles,
Or help you leap over hurdles.

Eat as much as you can.
No one will accuse you of greed
Or call you an Oliver Twist.

Feed your eyes.
Fuel your spirit and soul,
As you grow in grace
In your Race of Grace
Get insight, foresight,
Prudence, discretion,
Knowledge, understanding and
The Wisdom of the Kingdom life.

Don’t forget to pass
some of the apples
to a friend in need.
Remember: A friend in need
Is a friend indeed.

I know they also say,
‘One bad apple
spoils the whole bunch.’
But you don’t need to
worry about that here.
These apples you see
have longevity
and purity to infinity.
They will never go bad.
They have ability
not only to reform,
but also transform
the hard and bad.
They are plumb, lush
Delicious, mouth watering;
Simply divine.
