I was once asked to keep a secret

because the secret was untold.

I swore not to tell a soul

but as humans do the secret was told.

I told it to my mother and my sister.

Figuring it was better told that hidden.

My friend who had once trusted me

now had nothing to be said.

All I did was tell one little secret

but now it had been spread.

One good thing did come of it though.

I learned that your own thoughts

are better kept with yourself

than with those who you know and trust.
