He was always scheming Looking for ways to bring in money Money he would gain by being deceitful Being sneaky, mean and dishonest He never imagined finding love Along the broken road he was taking Amazing, but fate sent him an angel A delicate and frail, graceful and loving Woman who’d always been kind and good Someone who planned to give him hope Of the better way, the path toward faith With love that would always bring grace She was much wiser than he had been She listened to him and became a real friend She smiled and laughed and lit up the room With her warmth and radiance, her heart! She was much gentler than he had been She whispered and sighed and breathed in The promise of a love that would always be A love she could believe in with assurance That he had sincerely become someone Worthy of the joy she felt when she was with him He was always so cunning, shrewd to a fault Conspiring with the gods to give him All the wealth he hoped would bring happiness Then, he found her, the angel who taught him Real love comes to you from giving a piece of your Heart, a piece of your thoughts, a piece of you That can only be given when the love is true! Today, they call her the snake charmer! The Snake Charmer contest Sponsored by: Kai Michael Neumann December 31, 2021
