That Tiny Devil

That tiny devil whispers to me,

"Come on, darling, let them run free!"

He sits on my shoulder and purrs in my ear,

"Baby, baby, you don't need to fear.

I won't hurt you, trust and see,"

This is what he says to me.

Day after day he cries out my name

Pleading with me not to feel shame.

"These deeds are not sins," he whispers with glee,

"These deeds will release you, like a bird on a tree."
