I wonder if we ask everyone about their childhood what would be said. I think we all want to "go back" and be a kid again. I had many friends, but due to becoming an orphan at 11, I was forced to move away and lose my many friends. I think a part of this "loving boys" is a need to gain back what was lost, and being with a boy allows us to "play" and regain something that was lost. Lonliness is a tough one my friend. I think everyone feels all alone at times. Yet, each of us is connected. It may not seem that way when we see a father throw a ball to his son. We dwell on what we don't have, yet on your heart are etched the names and memories of many boys, girls, men, and women. And within those you love(d), is the your name. Does this love get erased? Love never gets erase! That love is what last forever. The lonliness we feel is a gentle reminder of our need for God and that we should open up and love. ~Once a Boy |
