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
