In this case, conscience seemed to work well. Many others fall short. Sometime there is so much to lose and so little to gain, yet for a moment's pleasure, many take the risk.
Stop, breathe, and think..then walk away. You will feel stronger and better for it.
Best wishes,

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Congratulations on your win, it is well deserved. You are also right, affairs mainly start at the work place, I have known many marriages break down that way. But when you think of it, people see more of their work-mates than they do they spouses, although it is wrong, painful, hurtful, and always ends in tears, you can see how it happens. I don't think I could have survived that happening in my life. Well done! xsx Sandra

Thanks Sandra for your thoughts on this matter, I appreciate it. I worked in an environment like the one you speak of for nearly 30 years. I saw many good friends, men and women, do exactly what we're talking about. I just couldn't, my love for my wife and my strong faith kept me from it. We've been together 47 years now, thank God. Have a wonderful weekend my friend. Bill

Yes, I can see why you won this contest. You have done an excellent job of creating the emotional turmoil of a man caught in temptation with just a few words. Great poem.

I have a 6 and you are getting this because you deserve it writing a wonderful poem! Oh how many are tempted to cheat, even once, but that is still too much. Can you only imagine the damage and what and who would be destroyed? Is it worth it? NO! Seek God and ask Him to give strength to walk the other way. I give you a big congrats on your win, and I'm not at all surprised! This is wonderful writing. . .Sharon

Thank you so much Sharon for your wonderful review and rating, I really appreciate it very much. Yes, I agree with you, seek God and His guidance in these situations. However, there are so many that don't. Have a great weekend my friend. Bill
Comment from Zue65
This really deserved to be a contest winner, the temptation presented is so strong, the inner turmoil is is so vivid, we can almost feel the pain of the man, the flesh and the spirit tugging at each other and finally God taking over the ultimate decision to resist another woman's pleasure. You deserved a six stars review.

Thank you so much my friend for your great review and rating, I appreciate it. This can be a very difficult time in a man or woman's life. With God's help, most will make the right decision, but there are many that don't and lives are ruined. Have a great day and a real nice weekend my good friend. Bill

Temptation especially of the sexual nature is hard to ignore but Jesus can take it away. Congratulations on your well deserved win:)

This is powerful stuff, and I am sure that countless men find themselves faced with this kind of temptation. Your poem is a strong message to resist this. Well done!

Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good alliteration with wife/with...don't/desire...to/take...tears/to...suffer/sorrow. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a message filled with truth. Congrats on your win.

Comment from Muffins
A meaningful message with a strong call to faith. This narrator sounds real and I can see someone in this type of situation asking for spiritual help, guidance. If only more people who find themselves in this type of predicament ask for help, they would get it right away. Jesus is known to answer quickly. Wonderful writing.
