Poem
when I was a little boy I ran into a little bit of bad luck with my new slingshot I mistakenly killed my Nanna's pet duck I was frightened and so scared that I had a panic attack and thinking like a child I buried the duck in the back unbeknownst to me there was a witness to this deed I had inadvertently given my sister all the ammunition she would need and for the entire summer she held that duck of guilt over my head she blackmailed me to do all her chores until the day I was spirit-led the Holy Spirit came upon me one day and told me to confess of my sins for that would be the only way to gain control of my life once again so with a contrite heart I went and told my Nanna what had went down she laughed and said she wondered how long I would let my sister push me around she said she saw me that day when I buried the duck in the backyard and hoped that I would eventually come and tell her of my part she was very much aware that my sister had held me in a bind and she prayed that the teachings of the Lord would come to weigh on my mind It was a lesson in life that I have since come to discover that there's nothing you can hide that the Holy Spirit will not uncover there is no thought, no deed nor anything that will remain concealed that the light of the Lord Our God will not one day reveal so don't let the duck of guilt be the sword that hangs over you confess of your sins and simply live to always tell the truth
