A Fair Warning

How deep
this pain and fear
runs through my aching heart
as I weep tears for flesh and blood
bruised by a life that is often unkind
my anger feeds on acid thoughts
as I prepare to crush
what has threatened
my world

Beware
and step lightly
for I am on your heels
know that you will fall by my hand
I will not rest until I destroy you
and I am sure all that I love
is safely out of reach
from your evil
presence

Romans 12:9-21:) Yes, this is a very wonderful passage. Robin~one of my very favorites also dear lady!!!:):)~12:9~"Let your love be without hypocracy. Abhor what is wicked, cling to what is good. In brotherly love have tender affection for one another. In showing honor toward one another take the lead"...."Return evil for evil to no one"...."Do not avenge your yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: "vengence is mine; I will repay, sayeth the Lord...."~cont~

Robin, so appreciate your comment and explanation. Powerful, fiercely protective as is second nature to a loving mom. I would feel the exact same way in your shoes. Poetically, this is outstanding. Emotionally I am so caught up in your feelings, I sense the rage and anger of knowing what I would never put up with and let happen either. Hope and pray this ends swiftly and easily. Will be thinking of you. Love & hugs, Shar
