The little boy stood
At the edge of despair.
He knew he had trouble
And he was scared.
For most of his life,
He’d been unseen,
By others around him
Who treated him mean.
The more they treated
Him without respect,
The more he felt
Their abuse and neglect.
Found on Pinterest on 2-8-16. Boy.
He became mute,
Unable to talk,
He made a world,
Only he could unlock.
His world was lonely
And it was cold.
Over time years passed.
He was twelve years old.
As time went on,
His silence grew,
And he inwardly turned.
It didn’t matter to you.

No one understood,
By the time he was four,
He was taking care of self,
And he was poor.
His wounds were deep,
And he had little hope.
His spirit was crushed,
And he could not cope.
He had reached a point
Where he could not cry.
He had to make a choice:
“Do I live or die?”
Found on Pinterest on 2-9-16. helping hands. Dalai Lama.
A man came along,
And gave a hand to him.
The boy had to act
Before the light grew dim.
He said four words,
“Mister, please help me.”
The boy told himself,
“I want to be free.”
So he reached up to meet,
The man leaning down,
And he broke his own rules
By uttering a sound.
Found on Pinterest on 11-25-15.
When he asked for help
From a man that day,
He changed his life
In a positive way.
