I Should Type Better Things

That Kid

by:Rob Paquin

The boy named X
A friendly kid
So understanding and so loving
The way he travels through his world is really just so touching

He brings me joy
when he’s around
I’m never t even sure how he does it
He reaches out into the world
And gently tries to touch it

And there inside his innocence
I dare not dash his dreams
That every person might be his friend
Even when they’re mean

He doesn’t understand the way
That this world seems to run
And so he tries to make some friends
And tries to have some fun

He’s cooler than an icicle
He’s softer than the dawn
He’s full of life and always nice
I’m glad he’s my grandson.
