Love That boy
Love that boy,
Like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
Like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
Love to call him
“Hey there, son!”
As the teacher begins to feed him inspiration, Jack finds that he has a lot to say and many ways to say it. All year long, Jack tries to talk about his teacher, his beloved dog Sky, and his life in more in-depth ways. One day, Sky dies because he is hit by a truck. Jack uses poetry and his new joy in writing to cope with this loss, which is quite huge considering that Jack is only in third grade." The words completely captivate him, reminding him of the loving way his dad calls him in the morning and of the way he used to call his yellow dog, Sky. I felt the same way as Jack did when he read this poem for the first time. It gives so much warmth and exuberance within. It feels so good when we can sense the love in that very specific tone our parents use while addressing us. So much of inexpressible joy grows within ourself.
