I know I should put it back
I am not a thief
But I knew God was cutting me some slack
But if I do it would cause me grief
Knowing I have three children beside me
Oh what should I do?
Should I take them on a shopping spree?
Should I take them to the zoo?
I looked at the money and looked at my kids
Oh God please forgive me
Because I knew this is exactly what he forbids
If I take this money on my knees I will have to plea
I left the bank
With the money in my hand
I knew God was the one to thank
I knew he would understand
Author notes
I would take the money =(

I guess in one sense it isn't being dishonest as the cashier gave the money without recounting......but then again.....it would be as you know the truth that the addition was wrong....
As DancingRed stated.......I am not 100% sure that I agree with the last two lines but we always at certain times attempt to rationalize things.......
Thank you for entering and best of luck........

Although I'm not sure I agree with the last two lines, this is a great write. The rhyme was good, I liked the second stanza the best. I think it was good to bring in real life situations to make it seem for real.
Good luck in the contest!
