Bones dreams
of being a big
and tough older guy.  

He dreams of being a man—
a man who will walk down the street,
a man with a mission,
a man going somewhere,
a man to be respected.  

However,
lurking in the back of his mind,
he has this hunch
that this dream will not be attainable—

no, not for him.  

Bobby

Everyone has a right to dream, I would say, dear Bobby. And especially the number one dream of all humans: to be loved and respected.
He doubted and under those circumstances I understand that he had some difficulty of trusting his dreams to manifest. Sad.

Well done.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks dear Owl,

Yes, the poetic Bones never made it out of childhood.  The real one is doing well, and sends his greetings.

Love Bobby
