A Sin Against Mother

A Sin Against Mother
By Ed Litzinger


A child once lied to his poor old mother,
And he went to bed hungry that night.
He broke two commandments, he knew very well.
Now he must repent before going to bed.

He lied to his mother and showed her dishonor.
The boy feels smarter and stronger than his weak, old mother
And he will never repent or regret what he said.

The boy lied to her thin, hungry face before going to bed.
“I cannot eat another bite, mother,” he said.
