The Boys First Love

The boys' puppy fell through the ice first Then the boy jumped in after him Fear had been overruled by love Later when he told his mother why they were frozen to the bone She put them into a bath tub of warm water And she cried Still the day had turned out all right Because the boy was proud of what he had done

Michael, I really love how you have captured this sentiment--fear being overruled by love. You are so right. I have tried to help many others in my life when I could. When I did not follow my heart, for fear of my own wellbeing, I was always torn afterwards. This is a really interesting and powerful piece. Thank-you again for doing what you do. You have a wonderful heart.
