A Boy Learns of Love

 

Young and impressionable

As any child can be

When a child learns to smile

‘Tis certainly a pleasure to see

 

To be worthy of a smile

Would take a special event

A reaction of the brain

Triggered from the heart, it’s sent

 

And when suddenly a young boy

Sees a pretty girl’s face

He’s on uncharted ground

Taken to a far off place

 

A place not of physical locale

But that of a euphoric state

Hypnotic attraction takes control

The quickening of heartrate

 

A never before known emotion

To cause the boy to be so ecstatic

Smiles at sight of her

Unknowingly automatic

 

This is how it begins

Gifts from stars above

With infectious smiles

A boy learns of love
