somber harbor
The little heart.
There was a boy with the heaviest of boots and the smallest feet.
He would smile, nod and run through the grounds at recess.
He watched and learned,
you--
do not belong.
Not with others,
sitting and laughing away.
But respond in kind,
and always answer right.
There is a boy with his little heart,
and many fears.
walking alone the early morning's rain.
with the largest splash! and joy.
without the question of wrong.
his hazel eyes would meet another pair of blue,
not knowing,
not wanting,
but burning his little wet heart,
and blooming with love.
