little boy (2016)
crawl, little boy
& flourish with the beauty you were given
your parents will love you regardless
& this solitary rock will keep on spinning
fly, little boy
& dive deep into your calling’s sphere
get your heart broken a few times
& weep until you feel no fear
this life is too short to stay idle
to passively accept
tomorrow is forever out of reach
little boy,
— there will be nothing to regret
