The Little Boy Inside

I am unique and special...

A blessing all but lost because...

Most take one look and turn away!

They figure I'm no good at all...

Because I'm not the same as other kids...

(If sameness comes from looks...)

But truth be told inside of me is just a little boy!

A little boy who'd love to play with trucks and cars...

Or swing and slide at the neighborhood park...

Or build sand castles at the beach!

A little boy who'd love to listen to stories on Daddy's lap...

Or rock with Mama when he's sleepy!

Oh if only folks could see that outside "looks" and first impressions...

Are NOT the most important things!

The things that count are deep inside...

The outside's just the cover...

That holds the little boy inside!

*****

Inside of me is a little boy with potential to grow and learn...

And a heart that can feel the scornful looks of folks who don't understand his worth...

A heart that hurts when no one cares...

A heart where loneliness can live...

When no one understands!

This little boy could also feel the love of someone special...

The love of a Mama and Daddy who have the most important things inside of them...

A heart that's kind...

A heart that loves...

A heart that understands and sees...

The special little boy inside!

I'm a prize that's waiting to be won...

By one who'll look beyond a first impression...

And see the sweet little boy inside!

Please don't miss the prize!

Are you my Mom or Dad?
