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!
