Bones and Tiny
worked Girard Avenue together
hot summer nights.

They had good luck there,
never had any trouble
catching a ride.

Tiny was small,
and not always right in the head,
so Bones had to kind of look after him.

Tiny was a big responsibility,
if Bones didn’t take care of him,
Tiny would surly end up lost.

Even in misery, and sometimes because of it, feelings of compassion rise in the troubled hearts of companions in adventure like Bones and Tiny.

It is sad, yet you succeeded in giving it a touch of kindness and hope.

Love,
Margherita

This is nice, to be in charge for a child can be a burden, a responsability that makes him grow up with sore sometimes...Thank you for sharing

Excellent poem Bobby!
This greatly expresses how I feel about a certain person I look after. . .

Thanks dera Margherita,

What you say is true. The real Tiny was killed in an accident on the El about twenty years ago.

I think of him often.

Thanks Yann,

Most times it's a positve thing for a kid to have another kid to look after.

It was a great help to Bones.

Thanks Angel,

It's a good thing to look after a brother/sister human being.

Good for you.
