I met a boy.....

I fell in love.

I met a boy.....

That long-ago, revolutionary summer.

I met a boy......

His name was Troy.

I met a boy.....

His eyes were the deepest of brown and they melted my heart.
His smile made my day worthwhile.

I met a boy........

His name was Troy.

I met a boy.......

When we said goodbye, I had no idea it would be my last chance to tell him how much I loved him.

I met a boy....

I will NEVER forget him.

I met a boy..........

In my life for 6 short weeks, yet
He changed my life forever

I met a boy.....

I think of him often and cry.

I met a boy...

He stood no taller than my shoulders.
He was skin and bones and full of life and energy and..........hurts and pain and anger and fear.

I met a boy....

I wonder where he is now
what he has become
who tells him, if anyone, how amazing he is
does He know how much God loves him?

I met a boy....

He was just a boy
about 11
a camper
from a painful life situation
from a world I would never know
from a world I wanted to protect HIM from....but couldn't.

I met a boy.....

His laughter was contagious
His anger was brewing, always brewing.

I met a boy.....

He went back to his world.
He didn't want to go
I cried an ocean of tears
begging God to protect him

I met a boy....

His name was Troy.
