JUST A BOY

Just a day, just an ordinary day. Just a boy, just an ordinary boy. He was a dreamer, always constantly dreaming of that fine man he'd want to be. He knew men were never born but were always made. His task was clear. He was gonna make a great man from himself - an ordinary boy. And he worked at it, but soon he realized, that come time when the man was, he(The Man) would have to reflect on the boy he once was. So the boy decided.

Making that man proud of the boy he once was - That is the big picture.

So he grew. With an open mind, never quick to judge. Always ready to learn. Moulding personality with a keen sense of perception. He never stopped dreaming.

And came, the man did. More sudden than gradual. Soon enough, he began to ponder on how he had become. He wondered that if boys become men just like puppies became dogs or cubs become lions, definitely, a boy must have become him. It would interest him to know that boy.

And know him, he did. His soul searching led him to realise that that boy sure did a good job making him who he is. But good jobs just often aren't enough. A coin really has two sides and, yeah Edward Lorenz was right - A butterfly fluttering its wings really can cause an hurricane on the other side of the world. Seeking meaning from the boy and the life he led, the man reflected and he found. Yes! It is all about the boy. Always has been. His job now cut out for him, he now sees.

Making the boy proud of the man he had become - That is the big picture.

It is today, just an ordinary day. It is a boy, just an ordinary boy. But he is looking to the sky…
