Snakes And Ladders

Rating: 5.0


It's really amazing that some relatives
They offer you the hand to bring up when you are in trouble.
But when you climb the steps gradually
They pull the ladder secretly.

* Be watchful my dear son on your walks
As there are some snakes under the grass.
[ Still I remember my deceased loving mother who whispers this phrase when she put us on the bed.]

Your poetic soul resides in the most interesting of subjects Nimal. Your mother sounds as though she were very wise. Sad how some are two faced and double tongued. Great poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
