A small child
playing in the garden
giggling and smiling
happiness was real at five
A little boy
head down, shoulders slumped
before another boy joins him, smiling
friends were true at seven
a young boy
sat on a man's shoulder
holding the woman's hand, giggling
parents were loving at ten
A lost boy
sat in the corner, drowning out his demons
a brown eyed boy on his mind
heart-ache was unbearable nineteen
gentle touches and stuttered gasps
warm smiles and comforting hugs
a swirl of green and blue was the sign of joy
Love was real at twenty-five
