the boy with the cap will always be young because he is able to see the innocent child in each one of us and helps us think positively the boy who lived in hard luck times somehow had insight to know the things that were really important in life would eventually come and grow he helped out his parents he never looked back, or said what have they done to me he’s always had the greatest stories about “my dad and me” logging and wood cutting tractors and trucks, and brakes giving out on the hill cows needed milking, the stove needed choking it was a tough life, but still.... life is a gift as far as he knows his generosity, humor, and love have given us guidance in finding our ways extensions of gifts from above his children now are grand and great his family spans the map and all of them have been inspired by the boy who is wearing the cap |

Thank you. My mom sent me a wonderful picture of my dad when he was 5. He was wearing a really cool cap, the same style he wears today at age 72! But I'm not technologically oriented so, no picture! |

I read in one of your replies that this poem was inspired by a photo of your father when he was 5 years old! That makes your lovely poem, even more special!  Warm hugs, EA |
