Crowning Glory

Two little girls, feared

Fingers and faces smeared

With jam, were drawing

On a blank sheet of paper.

Peeking over their shoulders

Refusing the sight of anyone.

Shielding their pride and joy

From harm and ruin.

Then running, scrambling,

Coming towards me,

And I was presented,

With a crowning glory.

A golden image of sweet nothings?

Or the blatant sign of all things evil?
