Edward's Thumb

friends real friends don't see our faults as faults

 

‘I have a dastardly secret

 

I hide this secret well

 

it is such a ghastly thing

 

to you I would never tell.’

 


These were the words of Edward

 

he was my bestest friend.

 

He said if I knew his secret

 

I would never stay his friend.

 


So by curiosity I was led

 

to poke my head under Edward’s bed

 

there he was…hiding no evil secret

 

just sucking his thumb instead.

Yes, what one person thinks another will say.
You know who is a true friend for they accept
you faults and all.

Always,

Deborah
