Hide and Seek

Little girl in a rainbow jumper runs to hide And seek. Lifting hands to cover her face As soon as she finds the right tree And thinking she's hid in what is plain sight Shouts 'ready!', with one two and three. 'I'm coming!' he says, Looking blindly her way As he searches about So she won't be found out But the girl cannot wait for a shout Of 'surprise!' as she lowers her hands From her tightly shut eyes To say 'here I am!' with delight Unrestrained at her father's 'haha!', And his feined 'there you are!', While embracing his beautiful prize. This dear little madam, an Eve of her Adam Is naked and knowing no shame. Not long to her hiding, her fear and self-chiding, When heaven calls for her by name. Then fearing the garden, not knowing her pardon She'll hide from her Father in pain.
