WHEN EMOTIONS CANNOT SHOW…
When he was younger in times like these,
Emotion wasn’t allowed…
Truth is that he often stayed on his knees
And by his elders was cowed.
–
He’d daydream emotional stories at night,
Got in trouble for not enough sleep….
Wasn’t allowed to have anger in sight
But could, in bed, have a weep.
–
Recently things have come to a fore,
Giving up crutches again…
Started daydreaming for solace once more
Feeling like he’d lost a friend.
–
He’s not given up praying to his God,
Still finds the grace to push on…
Struggling to take proper care of himself
‘Til his bright raiment is on!
