The Little Boy

by Glorypearl Dy. 2008

he is 8 but he barely answers 

yes or no

he is 8 but he can't seem to read “hello”

finally. One yesterday.

Gameboy!

Gameboy!

he said

for the first time

I hear him say

he is 9 and he barely answers 

yes or no

but he can read a little “hello”

when I gave him the toy

he shouted gameboy

but he whispered in my ear

so clear as if a cheer

“Thank you Aunty”

Thank you for the G-A-M-E-B-O-I

he spells.

he is 10 and his heart is pure like 7

his love reads heaven
