Fear of seed

It was a sunny sunday,                                                                                            No one came to my home,                                                                                    Every one got ready for the picnic,                                                                              I had no money to join.                                                                                           I sat in the small hall sadly,                                                                                             My father returned home,                                                                                 He hung his shirt on the stand,                                                                              There was no one in the  hall.                                                                                            I tried to steal the money,                                                                                       I crept up to the shirt like a thief,                                                                     Soon I searched in the pocket ,                                                                           And I found more money in it.                                                                                       I changed my mind suddenly ,                                                                         My seed of fear menaced me ,                                                                             My compulsion forced me to steal,                                                                       But my fear forced me not to do it.                                                                  After a long and difficult struggle,                                                                                    I had the courage to ask my father,                                                                                  He suddenly gave me the money ,                                                                           My seed of fear faded at once.
