Two Hands in a Cookie Jar

Two little kids
A boy and a girl
Walk hand in hand

Two little hands
Inside a cookie jar
Performing innocent crime

Share the walk
Share the cookies
Share the moment

Cookies in hand
They run in a park
Laughing and eating

Till one of them fell
Half eaten cookie on the ground
And a broken skin on his knee

As his laughter stop
The other watched
Cookie still in her hand

Unsure of what to do
She comes slowly closer
And sit next to him

Teardrops on his cheeks
Signaling the pain he is in
Wishing it to go away

Still unsure of what to do
But knowing that he is in pain
She offers her cookie to him

He smiles but shake his head
Just knowing that she knows
Is half the remedy to ease the pain
