Long Ago Child and His Holy Best Friend

Little voice evokes long ago young Child an innocent 13 Comic books made him very clean He was the World at Play Simplistic and Charming Looking beyond there Yesterday An eye toward the cloud And a Whisper to that Jesus Kid "Come and play beside me for a moment Ease my trembling shoulder While the World that you've made has gotten so much colder" Memories still here So is that child's voice from years before No more or less important Those Baseball cards are still behind that door Waiting for Come Back Children to return home and play again once more
