He was a practical boy
with wisdom beyond 16 years
He was an adventurous boy
who could never show his tears.
He was a boy full of laughter
and tears never leaked
from his perfect blue eyes
many times he'd say he was fine
even if they were practical lies.
and he just lived a life
that was to cold, to meak.
He was a funny boy
a boy who could always
put a smile on my face
a boy so full of life
it seemed impossible to replace.
And yet he'd sit late nights
in his room
just thinking about his life
thinking about his future
and maybe his own wife.
But then God took him suddenly
even before his life began
to walk on stones with bare feet
before even becoming a man.
Such a trying life he lived
couldn't see him through the tears
forgot what it meant to cry
being wise beyond 16 years.
His eyes blaze fire into heart
his smiles are so real
it's funny how a man like Satan
could know exactly how I feel.
