Little boy blue.

When a child fall down. Someone must pick them up or they could be lost forever.

                              Little boy blue

Little boy blue lost in a scary and unsteady world.

Decisions of life leave our children lonely and confused.

Little boy blue will fall down many times.

Who will tell him? He will be okay.

Love don't die. Fade away to hidden places.

Little boy blue. Alone and afraid.
Need a gentle voice and place to rest.

Love never closes or is forgotten.

Little boy blue could be the child in their room.
Crying and afraid.

Waiting to hear kind words.
It will be alright and I will love and protect you.

Wow! This one jumped out at me. My own grandmother called me little boy blue my entire life. She also expressed many of the sentiments and you expressed many of mine during that period in my life before she passed. A truly great woman. I couldn't help but shed a tear when reading this. Such memories. Thank you for writing this!

Thank you for reading. One of my nephews I helped raised is in prison. Broke my heart. Hard to grasp family locked up and lost. The words "Little boy blue" came to my head.

The theme is great. The literary merit is somewhat questionable. Not up to your usual. Wonderful write though. Straight to the heart!

[Coyote Poetry]

Some poem have other purposes. This poem was because someone I helped raised. He is in prison asking for letters. Just a reminder. All of us need someone to tell us. You will be okay.

I think this would make a beautiful text for a picture book for children.

[Coyote Poetry]

It could. I believe us parent need to learn this lesson. Kids need to feel safe and sound. Negative words can create separation

[J_Star]

Yes, that's so true.

It breaks my heart to know that children are neglected. All I can do is pray for the forgotten, and reach out to the lost souls. A heartfelt write.

Most of us learn the hard way. Better to be kind than to expect too much. Thank you for the comment.

We are all human, we all error, we all have feelings and we all bleed red that is why understanding and compassion are very important traits.
