YOU ARE MY GIRL
The weather was fine,
And bright sunshine,
So I went out to play,
Singing a song
All along,
In a mood merry and gay.
I never knew
That there were a few
Waiting in the bush,
To surprise me
And entrap me
Like a prey in ambush.
They were glad
When they had
Pinned me down in dirt,
They laughed and jeered,
Smirked and sneered
At my injury and hurt.
Succeeding in their ploy,
They left in joy,
For me they didn't care,
In anger and shame,
I scolded them,
Then I saw you standing there!
You stayed for a while,
With a sweet smile,
As if you meant to say,
"Don't sully your mind,
But try to find
A better way to play!
"You are my girl,
So don't be a churl,
Just forgive them and forget,
Whatever they may do,
Just believe in you,
Then you won't ever regret!"

yes, dear Mani, I too realised its deeper meaning when my mom pointed it out to me and then I exclaimed, "momma,I was addressing to you and not to God!"

Heavy and light at the same time. I've got to respect something done so cleverly. You've done a great job expressing yourself!

Love your imagery here. I can really picture those horrid bullies in my mind's eye.
