MURRAY COUNTY POETRY Poems by Murray Poets and Poems About Murray County THE TENTH COMMANDMENT by John Homer Luffman 1910-1987 I THINK PERHAPS IT'S SAFE TO SAY MUCH OF LIFE'S ILL WOULD PASS AWAY IF ONE COMMANDMENT - NUMBER TEN - COULD BE BELIEVED AND KEPT BY MEN. "THOU SHALT NOT COVET" - HE'LL SUPPLY OUR NEEDS THO' WE MAY WONDER WHY OUR EARTHLY GOODS CANNOT COMPARE WITH MANY OTHERS', HERE AND THERE. "THOU SHALT NOT COVET" - THINGS OF EARTH FOR ALL THEIR PRESTIGE AND THEIR WORTH. EARTH'S TREASURES CANKER AND DECAY- THEIR PLEASURE LASTS BUT FOR A DAY. "THOU SHALT NOT COVET"- FOR HIS GRACE WILL BE ENOUGH IN ANY CASE. MORE THAN WE MERIT WE'LL BE SENT- THEN WHY CAN MAN NOT BE CONTENT? HIS KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT'S BEST FOR ME IS MORE THAN MINE COULD EVER BE. HE'LL NOT FOR BREAD GIVE ME A STONE IF I WISH NOTHING BUT MY OWN. Murray County Poetry
