For Daniel

There's a boy who isn't the same,
as he used to be, back in the day
I don't know what happened,
might not ever will,
but I can tell from his face, his mask,
that he feels,
different than he used to be,
like something's gone,
or something's been weighing down
on his shoulders far too long.
He's a smart kid,
a quiet friend to others around,
but inside I know,
there's a battle raging on, and the sound,
of contiuous bullets, and bombs,
hurt his ears,
He's a rock on the outside,
but in lie his fears
I won't tell his secrets,
won't critisize or judge,
will let him have my shoulder
when he needs to cry,
Will hold him down when away
he wants to fly.
He wants to run away,
but I could never let him go,
He's a strong boy, just doesnt know
what to do.
We all have problems,
if only we all knew,
then we would all be closer together...

What a beautiful poem. I know you are a wonderful person, I know how that feels to know a girl who can protect my feelings some how whatever the conflict. I love that I can only love and respect people like you.

Wow, thanks a lot. I appreciate what you said. And thanks for the other poem comments as well. I really get immense joy out of getting feedback, good or bad, so thank you.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
