Crutches and no feet

He lost his leg in a mine blast.
He weeped and screamed alot.
He told himself he'd give up.
And that his life is one bad lot.

He is but a mere twelve years old.
And he already couldn't play with friends.
He watches the game with anger.
And feels relaxed when the game ends.

His crutch is the new pal.
And the bees and butterflies down by the lake.
He smiles a little as he looks at nature.
But the memories make him ache.

A small boy comes to him.
With two crutches and no feet.
He approaches our friend.
And says " You mind if i take a seat?"

The two boys sit together.
And laugh and joke and play.
They might not run to be happy.
But for happiness, they found another way.

Life might close many doors at one's face.
But, other doors will be broken free.
Happiness and peace of mind are not places.
But attitude is the key.

And, the two boys sit together.
And laugh and joke and play.
They might not run to be happy.
But for happiness, they found another way.
