Caging The Snake

Kurt Philip Behm

You first forgive
to then forget
Judgment lost
in past regret
To change the mantra
soul’s unfilled
And cage the snake
—from now until

    You can't cage a snake just like we can't live a sinless perfection life.
    But we have a Heavenly Father that forgives our sin if we ask Him !
