[bodytext] => A Little Boy Cries ~~~~ In a corner of the woods A little boy cries Head on his knees He coves up his eyes Lost and confused He tries to manage a smile But with the news he got He doesn’t know how Seems his father up and left And went away Left his mother Without a word to say After years of lies He finally told the true He didn’t want to be tied down He wanted to live out his youth Than in a moment three young lives Were suddenly changed All the dreams they had Were rearranged One went one way To manage on his own The other two Struggled to unite a divided home When things got rough His momma would seem so sad At times it seemed Hope was all they had But through the grace of God They made it on their own With a lot of hard work And a high interest loan Years went by Like a turn of a page Now that little boy Is nineteen years of age But ever now and then He still wants to cry When he sees his mother Still struggle to get by Growing up without a dad Sure has took its toll At times he thinks It ripped out his soul But despite his loss He’s determined to not give in To the lack of self confidence That nags him now and then This little boy Has grown-up to be a man To learn from his fathers mistakes He vowed to make a stand But alone at night He still feels so weak And after all these years His eyes still spring a leak At times he wishes He could open up his wings and fly To a different land Beneath the golden sky Where his pain and suffering Would all be gone And happiness came With the rising dawn This little boy of nineteen Still needs to hide So I tell him to go ahead And spread his wings wide Fly away freely Towards the sun Fly away My beautiful son [comments] => 7 [counter] => 284 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Jeff_Scott_Morehead [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
