Viper Among Us

Viper among us,
lurking about to
seek those he
can devour.

Bitting from the backside,
always sneaking around
to destroy those kind hearted
souls.

So be watchful of the
viper, he may be searching
you out to destroy
once and for all.

Marycile Beer Date: 8/18/2008 8:47:00 AM I can relate to this James as he comes in many forms. Very well written my friend. Thanks you for you beautiful words on my poem Messages from Heaven. We lost our youngest daughter 4 years ago and less than a year later my husband. Still he has been there for me and still is. God Bless, Cile Login to Reply
