Rodney
Round eyes smiling
you greet everyone you meet.
respectful..musical..
quiet and neat..
Overcome with shyness
when we ask you to speak..
but with your music
you're neither timid nor meek..
Do you get bored
as we recite the time away?
sometimes.. leaving no time
for the songs that you would play..
Never an unkind word
have I heard you utter..
unlike most teens who curse
belittle and mutter..
Every single meeting
you set to entertain
then you tear it all back down
not ever to complain..
You are a rare young man
a great pleasure to know...
with a warm and welcome smile
everywhere you go..
Rodney they say that fate
is how lives are set apart
so I thank the fated stars
that you have touched my heart..
