Boy In Blue

Mary had her little lamb I had my Boy in Blue His courage and valor Always stayed to be true Haters will hate and destroy One followed him one day A gun cocked and loaded And took my Boy in Blue away No rhyme no reason No justification for crime The killer was a Hater So goes the storyline I looked to the Heavens Asked God why me? Haters are opportunists Self glory is their key Life to them is nothing A knotch upon their belt Hate blinds all reason Remorse not even felt And what of my life now Goodbye my Boy in Blue May you rest and be comforted Angels arms around you As for the Hater he is dead An arsenal lay at his side No mercy for the angry Return fire was opened wide Life for life No rhyme no reason Good versus evil Tis the season We all will suffer There is no escape Love conquers all Even in a world of hate.

I remember getting bit by a dog one time because it was hurt and I was trying to help. Sometimes pain drives us all to regrettable action. I think the world needs more heroes who can think past the pain of the moment and work for something greater than retribution, or leveling the field, or eye-for-an-eye. May we all find such an escape from what are very troubling times indeed. Excellent write on a difficult subject. Thank you for sharing this one. -G

Ty DT. Sad how youth turns to age. Love turns to hate. People don't even know each other
