“A boy has the right to dream”

There are endless possibilities stretched out before him.
What awaits him down the path,
he will then have to choose.
The boy doesn’t always know.
At some point the boy becomes an adult
and learns what he is able to become
Joy and sadness forever will accompany this
He is confronted with a choice.
When this happens as he bids his past farewell in his heart
Once a boy becomes an adult he can no longer go back to being a boy
The boy is now a man.
Only one thing can be said,
“A boy has the right to dream”
For those endless possibilities are stretched out before him.
We must always remember, all men where once boys…


This poem, has been at my life's core, since I was 11 years old.
