Trust

Oh little Fish,

What is it that You see?

Why do You insist,

To swim so far from me?

 

I promise You no harm,

I swear I’ll leave you be.

I just really wish,

That You’d come near to me.

 

Why are You so scared?

You flinch at every sound.

How many dangers are there,

Swimming underground?

 

I promise to You though,

Safe You’ll be with me.

As far as good friends go,

The best friend I will be.

 

And so to prove to you,

Just how kind I am.

I offer You this worm,

As gently as I can.

 

And as You eat this worm,

And savor Your last meal,

My dinner too is served,

And You, little Fish, are the main course.
