No wonder we have trouble knowing truth from fiction.

I’m a Hypocrite! Why is it so hard for us to trust in our fellowman? We seem to question everything that we don’t understand. I remember a time I trusted everyone and what was said to me. But now I too question everybody and everything I cannot see. For me it started with the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and Santa too. I trusted and believed in them when my parents said it was true . For so long I believed in them, never questioned they were real. So you can’t imagine how shocked I was or how badly I would feel. I know they only told me things to make it a special day. Not realizing the pain they caused when it all went away. I swore then my children would never here those lies. But I must have forgotten that because time surely flies. So when my children were little, I did the very same thing. Telling them of Santa, the Fairy, the Bunny, & all the things they bring. Yes, I am a hypocrite and I’m not a bit proud to be But when I remember their tears of joy, I’m now okay with me. Written by, Bonnie May

...to hold the innocence of child...is never to be a hypocrite...but to dream...something seemingly harder to find...even in our sleep.
I will hold that innoncence...for it is where I began my journey...

No hypocrite, you, Bonnie! We develope a special time for children until they are ready to understand the True Meaning of Easter, Christmas, The Guardian Angle. Never look at these as lies...but a prelude to believing. Enjoyable 'wonderings' of a parent, your poem delightful!

Bonnie,
Enjoyed this poem, but don't be hard on yourself. The Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Santa , gives our children a fantasy world against the sometimes cruelness of the real world.

Blessings to you,
~Linda

We sometimes come down on ourselves too hard and expand things out of proportion.
