Death By Pride

A deadly sin 
A steady win 
Pride is a poison that makes one blind 
And is often a burden to carry on a climb 
It kills, destroys and may often leave one unemployed 
Pride, so many lives it has destroyed

The Bible did speak out against Pride. Solomon said that it goes before a fall. Happy 2017.Hope we hear a lot from you then, hugs Rainbow.
