Hey Little Boy

Hey little one
Is that a tear on your cheek
Why give up and run
For this is not what you truly seek

All alone without a light
No one to share a care
Don't worry little one about sight
Two eyes you need not to wear

The heart filled with emotions
A plague to your fragile will
Such strength surpasses even the greatest oceans
Yet impassioned dreams it comes to kill

You will find her someday
Keep your head high my friend
Little boy you must never lose your way
The cure will come with a pleasing blend

Never yearn for the way out
Little one you will not fail
Never the lovely girl you must doubt
No point in chasing your own tail

The envy that drives you into madness
So crippling your body without regret
Must be cast aside or welcomed with sadness
And the sadness making you death's pet

Now little boy keep the smile and lose the sigh
Your promise to her is tonight
It is not your turn to lose and die
You must open your eyes and forever regain your sight

Quite eloquent and insightful guidance. I enjoyed this!
