The Act

You wicked child!
You cunning fox

It is all a game to you

My little actress
Oh how well you play your tricks

Yes I know you are just toying with me
It shows in the tell tale twinkle in your eye
In the mischievous twitch that plays around your lips
Unwittingly you have told me everything

You remain unmoving
Sure that you will never be found out

Holding my gaze
Sure you have given nothing away

    For some reason these words resonated with me, though my child is in her 20s, disabled physically and mentally, call it fate, but I think I was supposed to read these words today…they are so true!

  • Im so glad my words were able to give you something.
