Soul Adrift

A jubilant tenacious boy harmonizes melodiously along.
He continues smiling often to everyone with an open heart.
Passing times dotage, him proudly akin to the sweetest song.
Growing into a tall strong man, the world is his bounty he can have it all.
Darkness overstretches a dirty hand to this once blissful boy.
Rather than to pursue a dream of anything possible, the man does fall.
The light of hope shines in the corner for him to pursue.
One can wish upon the stars for strong boy to become the strong man and find joy.
