Lonely Child

A family member who had a sad life growing up. He never did anything wrong.

He stares at everyone with soft brown eyes.
The chid is young and appears ready to cry.
Curly red hair looks soft to the touch.
His cheeks are pink but not so much.
A solemn young child who needs a hug
​And has some fun outside finding a ladybug.
This shy young boy became a hard working man.
Who wants to please his father as an honored enlisted man.
But what crime was his to be rejected by his cold hearted dad?
The boy's life was begun as a truly innocent lad.
His life was spent with an aunt who loved him as her own
But the love he craved, would never be felt or known.


Dedicated to my half brother who could only ask "WHY?"
His picture hangs in my house. He truly was a good brother and man.
