The Little Lost Boy Within You

I will comfort you babe When you’re feeling lonely. I see the little lost boy Seeking love and attention. Did your mother not love you As a mother should do? You push away family And push away friends, Don’t need any help, Just living your life. But I see deep in your heart, The need for love and attention, That little lost boy With tears in his eyes, And I wrap my arms around you To offer what’s missing. I kiss your wet cheek, Will never leave you, My little lost boy Within the man that you are.

Every great man, still has a boy in him. At least, I believe that. Ingrid, I think you captured that thought. Noel from NoelsArt

Thank you, sometimes a glimpse is given of this fact, when a man makes himself vulnerable. Just as the little girl is still within me....
