Steven
Big blue eyes, a warm soft smile.
A loving heart is what he shows.
Underneath his coy facade,
is a sad child I really know.
He tries to act as if things don't matter,
But a lonely boy is what I see.
He has more worldly knowledge,
than a child of just sixteen.
Ripped from the safety of home,
from such an early age.
Has given him emotions he never knew.
Loneliness, heartbreak, sadness and rage.
Though this has taken it's toll on him,
He hasn't let it get him completely down.
He has an outlet, he's an artist at heart.
This helps those feelings drown.
Through his drawings and his words,
comes a man all on his own.
Who could have thought,
through words a boy now stands alone.
He has learned more through this,
than life has taught him before.
I love my nephew Steven,
all the way to the core!
