Family and friends,
bear with me for a moment
while I paint you a picture.
In a sea of children
who do not even understand
This boy’s only flaw being
that he occasionally gets
too curious and asks
too many questions.
The only time he stays after school (every day)
is because he is sweeping floors,
putting chairs up on desks
He always has a smile on his face
and I’ve rarely heard him

Yesterday
he was beaten quite badly and I’m simply
asking for your thoughts
and prayers that he heals quickly
and with confidence that, for every one person
who will randomly hurt another,
there are ten that will randomly love another.
