I ponder the world
Such a messed up place
Filled with foolish people
With torn up grace

The world is cruel
And stripes you of hope
Your faith and sanity
Clinging on by a thinning piece of rope

But this little boy
Though foolish he may be
His hope stronger than others
For our humanity

He looks at the world
With untainted eyes
Looking at each new day
As a new surprise

His smile is wide and white
His eyes dark and knowing
This boy keeps me sane while
I question why I'm living

I have a crush
On this little boy
He likes to call me
Little girl who's coy

He knows I am shy
But brings me out of my shell
Walls I have built
But they now crumble and fall

At his touch
At his voice
I spill my secrets and doubts
This time by a strong minded choice

So little boy
Who gives me a reason
I'm glad to have you here

If only for a season
