A Boys Eyes
Author Unknown
I'd like to be a Cub Scout, his eyes were deepest blue,
I'd like to learn and play and build, like Jim and Freddy do.
I know how to use a hammer, I can drive a nail if I try,
I'm seven years old, I'm big and strong and hardly ever cry.
I gave him the application and parent participation sheet,
His eyes were filled with sunshine, as he left on dancing feet.
Next day my friend was back again, a dejected little lad,
I guess I'll skip the Cub Scouts, his eyes were dark and sad.
My mom is awful busy, she has lot's of friends you see,
She'd never have time for a den, she hardly has time for me.
And dad is always working, he's hardly ever there,
To give them any more to do, just wouldn't be quite fair.
He handed back the papers, with the dignity of seven years,
and smiling bravely left me, his eyes were filled with tears.
Do you see your own boys eyes, as other people may,
how he looks when you're too busy, or just haven't the time of day?
A boy is such a special gift, please try and realize,
It only takes a little time, to put shunshine in a boys eyes.
