THE HEART

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, I've heard it said.
It's myth. I know! The way to a man's stomach is through his heart.
They feed him all sorts of sweetened adulterous things
and laugh when he says they're delicious
He's brought up to mind his manners and say nothing but nice things
while they strut and giggle in their evil deeds.
They may have him for a while but more often than not
marriage ends in divorce and not death.

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, it is said.
Now a wise man will be more careful in who he trusts with his food.
He'll test intentions, serious natures, deceptions and mockery.
He'll overlook cuteness, beauty and innocent play-acting.
He'll search for truth, honesty, kindness and gentleness,
perseverance, love, peace and joy.
And when she has won his favor he will let her cook for him
for the way to a man's stomach is through his heart.

It's hard to tell in todays society because it is run by the immoral.
The standards that are set wouldn't keep a family together let a lone a nation.
The system is on the verge of collapse if we do not change our ways.
Who doesn't appreciate pure orange juice a perfect car or a decent meal?
We must develop a pure attitude and be perfect in our ways.
Have we no self respect? In truth and not in jest?
Are we not created in God's own image?
Should we not bestow due honor on our worthy neighbors?
Is this not what we expect?
