 ΒΟΥ 

By  OLGA ACHTENBAGEN 

Boy with the spirit of youth in your eyes, 

Sensitive nature and shy, 
Honest your judgment of right and wrong, 
No middle ground, no half lie- 
Blurs your decisions; your vision is clear- 
Others catch only a gleam- 
Blessed by your loyalty to an ideal! 
Boy, will you always dream? 

Boy with the soul of a man in your eyes,

 Others have need of your truth; 

Men of tomorrow will wait for a word 

Spoken with courage and youth. 

They, too, shall dream, but with questioning doubt, 

Lacking high faith, and you- 

Galahad soul with a Lancelot heart- 

Boy, make your dreams come true!
