If one has told you
A best kept secret
of a problem at home,
what is your first reaction?
to open your mouth and make it known?

If they've told you not to speak a word,
Don't go tell your friend what you've just heard.
Gain their trust by keeping it close.
Talk to God, He's there the most.

The author's comments:
When my best friend told me something very important awhile ago, I didn't know what to do but write. I felt this would speak to a lot of people that don't know what to do when their in this situation. So I hope this helps.
