My Secret

style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I have a secret. Be very, very
quiet though, don't tell anyone, no one, you promise? Not even your
mam, not even if she makes you and sends to your room. It's a secret,
you promise? Are you
ready?

laugh, it's true. I send things to be with
God.

die, stick a needle in my eye. I'm an angel, its not just me, there's
loads of them. I can hear them. They tell me what God wants with him in
heaven.

garden, on the swing Dad made for me when I heard one. 'God needs a
worm' it said. So I looked and there was a worm in the grass by the
tree. I jumped and squished it. 'Good' the angel said 'God likes worms,
God likes all the worms' so I kept looking. My mam got angry when she
saw all the holes in the garden. She didn't find the worms, the angels
told me to hide them.

said, they'll look after me, they promised. Mam doesn't understand.
S'like I the other day when she found the cat. That wasn't even me,
that was the angels, but I got wrong anyway, she got mad at me and she
yelled at me. I'm not allowed out
now.

class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">The angels did it, they held my
hands and brought out the hammer and gave me the nails. They made me
hold the cat against the fence. I didn't want to, not really but the
angels made me. God wanted Mrs Norris' cat, that he'd get angry if he
didn't get his cat. That he was
lonely.

class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">It's ok though, I don't mind being
stuck inside the house. I don't even need the angels now, God tells me
stuff himself, he's very loud, when he talks my head hurts. He's nice
though, he tells me how proud of me he is, making all them worms happy
and getting him his pet cat. I get to make my mam happy too. Tonight
when she comes home. Don't tell her though, I want it to be a surprise,
God wants her with him too.
