BOY OF BEYOND
of oddly appearing bugs ... he is just as curious
of warm embraces from a mother ... ... he is just as desirous
of all that life affords the children ... he is just as worthy ... he is of the Innocent Ones and he knows nothing of deference
thus he will not be without steady determination this Child of God this Little Man of Mercy
this Boy of Beyond owns my heart
by his rapid breath he goes forward and fearless
for he is not aware of triviality and only what matters to most weighs heavily upon him
runnin' and jumpin' and dirt and all things boy ... he is no less of them
of those that know him ... he has unto a critical humanity given them hope beyond inspiration
his angel wings are opened so that I may be sheltered
and there, upon the peaks of mountains flows 'cross the wind by the breath of God that gave us this Boy of Beyond so that we once could know of love
-- for a friend, Rece Gilder
