One Little Boy Poem by Suzanne Gaut

One little boy, all alone,
All he wants is to find a home.
He goes in every store,
But is rudley ignored.
Who would have known,
He was all alone?

One young boy, no longer alone,
Was just sent to an all boys home.
He sits in his room,
And fills his mind with gloom.
The young boy was very well-known,
But still he felt he was all alone.

One small child, now has a home,
Today was his first day to go to school.
He comes home with tear-filled eyes,
Holds his new daddy and starts to cry.
This small child was taunted and teased,
And could not put his mind to ease.

The same young man, now sixteen,
Every day the same routine,
could not keep living this horrible life.
He tried to keep going,
But the hurt kept showing,
So he took his life instead.

This same young man would now be twenty,
With no way out, but in his past he had plenty.
This one young woman in her upper thirties,
Looks down at his gravestone and lays down her daisies.
She thinks to herself, 'how could I let this happen,
While I was off smilin' and laughin'? '

This young boy was standing over,
Wanting just once to reach out and touch her.
For this young woman was actually his mother.

This young boy, has met someone new,
Up to the clouds and all the way through.
he treats him with respecpt,
This boy would never expect.
That he'd be with god, almighty and powerful,
He had a father forever...
