Posting this for revisit. An old Villanelle

Temptation's Time

Why steer away from God's abide
into the dark where evil strays.
Be still, my child, stay by my side.

The times have changed some nights I cry
to see unrest erode our ways.
Why steer away from God's abide?

As golden friendships now have died
and many feel they've been betrayed
Be still, my child-stay by my side.

Only the strong of heart reside
herein; hold fast-don't go astray
Why steer away from God's abide

and lose your way upon the tide-
alone, afraid...until you pray...
be still, my child-stay by my side.

The lord can see, his eyes are wide
and strong is he...to save the day...
Why steer away from God's abide,
be still...my child; stay by my side.
