Ode to a friend
To all little girls with secrets
There was a little girl with a secret in her shoe
The secret was her shoe was torn and her sock was worn out too
There was a little girl with a secret in her hat
The secret is she cut her hair and tried to put it back
Secrets, secrets always there, she never ever gives a care for they are only secrets that do not hurt anyone, and only she knows where they hide and will never see the sun.
There was a little girl with a secret in her purse
The secret was she stole a dime and now believes it cursed
There was a little girl with a secret in her heart
The secret was someone she loved tore it all apart
There used to be a little girl but now she’s growing old
With secrets still embedded deep beneath the hardened soul
Secrets, secrets always there, she never ever gives a care, for they are only secrets that do not hurt anyone, and only she knows where they hide and will never see the sun.
