Said the Little Girl

Said the little Girl
Dear God,
do hear me?
I close my eye and I pray.
Forgive me for this tine -weenie little lie.
I could not help it.
Mom baked
those luscious guava cookies,
I had to sneak one.
I ate it,
washed my mouth,
crossed my heart
and continue my fast
pretending like nothing happened.
So God, 
if I do this another time will you forgive me?
I am so little
and cookies looks and smell so good,
I think even You will sneak one.
Bye God until next time,
but remember this is our secret.

The sweet little lies that children tell - in their innocence! Great piece, Al, reflecting that childhood innocence and sincerity. Hugs and best regardsd. Pandita
