I'm Just A Little Boy

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Sometimes watching the news can be pretty inspiring.

Saturday, April 10, 2010

 

 

I'm just a little boy, if you yell at me
i'll yell back at you.
I've seen terrible things in my life
I was abandoned, left out for strife.

I'm just a little boy, if you hit me,
I'll hit you back.
For a moment I thought I had happiness,
but what I had was yet another big mess.

I'm just a little boy, if you threathen me
I'll threathen you back.
I've come to know through hard lessons
to repay anger with aggression.

I'm just a little boy, please don't you leave me.
All you have to do is love me,
and I swear I will never deceive you.
I'm just a little boy,
can't you see I'm a person not a toy?

the reach is longer than most imagine -- to be loved, is an essential criterion to the survival of man, little boy or no, Elisabeth -- peace and love be always with you my friend -- Jon Michael

Very emotional, this is seen in the eyes of our children all too often. Thank you, Carin'
