Boyhood

by Jason Hibbs

There was a boy
Who had it rough

His adventure
Was to be tough

He knew his Mother
Had left this land

He knew his Father
Like the back of his hand

There were monsters
He had to fight

He sometimes hid
He never cried

There was a boy
Who was afraid

Who wore armour
That he had made

There was a boy
Who met a girl

He met a girl
Who changed his world

Who saw the armour
And looked inside

And inside…

There was a boy.
