There is a boy with green boots

which was given at the age of five

by a father who left only taking his suits

that went away so his child could strive


The boy grew up all alone

forcing him to live a life of petty crime

but met a family who have him a home

a family that would change him to be sublime


One Day the child grew up

and found himself in a situation

a poor child with two green boots and a paper cup

he treats the boy to lunch to end his starvation


The grown up boy learned from his life's strife

that people can change and have a better life

The author's comments:
This is inspired from a book I am writing now in my freetime, I had the idea for the book when i had a dream and woke up and just wrote it down without stopping, leading me to start writing a book that I hope one will make it to the shelves and then adapted to a movie.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
