My naked little boy inside
is where the deepest fears reside
but also there’s a toy
so true at heart, this bantam boy

All day and night my mature me
sail through churning, burning seas
and wise to comfort him
a tiny, trembling child within

For there will come times of sorrow
age will steal, alone the morrow
when all I must employ
to tap into the purest joy

My naked little boy

——

Blessed…
