A Part of My History As a Child

Truth will always win out over a lie or something hidden away.
It is time to come to grips with something I did and get it out into the open.
I was about ten years of age when I did this awful thing.
I was on the ditch bank tearing my brother's rabbit lined gloves to shreds.
Wanting attention is the reason why I did such  a thing.
I didn't hate my brother in fact I love him today and did then.
There was a need for attention that I wasn't feeling I was getting so I did this thing.
I learned from my mistake and was punished for the offense.
It was a time I will never forget; as long as I have my memory.
The truth is the gloves were totally leather and was very warm to my brother's hands.
I wanted it to be stopped for them being this way so I did the deed I am ashamed and have been ashamed of for  years.
Never again will I be one to destroy something that belongs to another.
I have truly learned from the punishment I received of the offense.
Jesus has long time forgiven me it is I who brings it to you to understand more about me.
I am one who wishes for attention but have learned that getting it other ways is important to me.
So,  I write the poetry I do not to be praised or anything but to do the work of Him that sent me.
