Sprinkle More Lies
Sprinkle More Lies
Sweet little lies we bank upon when the heart goes weak
And insecurities bar ears from wanting to hear truths
Yet beautiful in themselves, bringing surplus happiness
My little babe fell down and bruised her knee
She wailed loud to raise a pandemonium
I medicated her wound and kissed it
And clicked my fingers saying, 'It is fine!'
My love looked at her bandaged knee
Smiled, hugged me and scooted off to play
She worked her way up to graduation level
On the day of her final exam she was nervous
She hadn't heard the alarm ring making her frantic
I calmed her nerves, gave her sweetened curd
Telling, 'God's honeyed blessings are with you!'
Trust in my words worked like magical fulfilments
In the flow of life we are buffeted with embankments
So strong that it can't erode despite flooded waters
Childhood experiences became lessons to face realities
A serious mishap wasted my looks and left me with a limp
My girls and hubby hovered around, 'Wow Mom!
You look more gorgeous !' and I worked towards recovery
Our lives are enmeshed in beautiful webs of lies
Stretching like oceans steering towards the skies
Shower more joys in my life with these sweet little lies!
