LITTLE BOY

I see that little boy
existing in a void.
No kind word
no Momma's touch
no Daddy there at all
it seems.
He'll look back
upon it all
someday
a blank
elusive dream.

My heart is wrenched
my mind too clear
and for that little boy
I fear.

He'll be lost, alone, afraid,
He won't speak up,
won't take that step,
afraid of backlash
afraid he'll trip.
He won't date that girl
or ask big bro'
those important things
that others know.

God grant him strength
vast powers of brain,
some compensation
for his pain.
