Youngest Boy

The long road has been
paved stiff. laid  sturdy
but with                 new 
journeys               anew
hero must stand and be
heard.
he will
make 
this road
his own.



He will	              Stand in
the face	          Of tradition,
a smirk                   With giant
breaths, he will blast a   new 
path. steady feet begin trans-
formation.	               his eyes,
aware                          of   the 
plane.                        he takes



     The leap into history not 
      just as a Plasky boy, but
                  as himself.
                   Life opens
                his bare eyes
       but only he can make
       Them see the  beauty





Jumping 
From one
Sport to 
Another
Arms.Firm.
Legs.Tight. and a glow
That can be seen for miles.


           He is the guardian of 
             two pearls seeking
                      strength
                       he’ll be
                      ready to
                    protect his
                       family 
         when the time comes. Bravery
         will mark his name in history.






Although he still has much
time for wisdom to progress,
you can	          see it
building	       inside his
heart. inside his veins. Make 
the most
of your
youth,my
Brother.
