Jelly Bread

Where are you hiding?
Innocent little boy
Gone?
Never had a home?
Floating wraith of memory
Are we really related?
We should become friends
You need a connection
Some way out of childhood
Why haven't I seen your need
Given you jelly bread and hope.

I get the feeling the "innocent little boy" in hiding is you, James. I may be off target, but we have to be make peace with ourselves before we can cater to the needs of others. Thanks for your comments, James. I'm very glad to have found your work here on Poetry Soup. Love and blessings, Carolyn
