Boy Dreams

Small hands grip worn textbook tight,

Eyes squint at sums in fading light.

But dreams peek out, like stars unseen,

Beyond the page, a vibrant sheen.

+

He sees himself, with wings unfurled,

A doctor's touch, a farmer's world.

He paints the sky with stories bright,

Or guides lost ships through moonlit night.

+

Each test a hurdle, small and steep,

But every step, a promise deep.

His heart, a drum, beats loud and strong,

No dream too big, where he belongs.

+

So let him learn, with eager eyes,

And chase the sun, with hopeful sighs.

For in that boy, with spirit free,

A world unfolds, for all to see.
