A Little Boy's Quest


by Eric Buechel



In a world where shadows play,

A little boy sets forth each day,

With laughter bright and heart so free,

He’ll chase the sun, as bold as can be.

Through fields of gold and skies so blue,

He runs with dreams, his spirit true,


Each step a dance, each laugh a song,

In his heart, he knows where he belongs.

The sun, a beacon, warm and bright,

Guides his path from morn till night,

With arms outstretched, he reaches high,


To touch the clouds that sail the sky.

As daylight wanes and colors blend,

He'll follow the light until the day ends,

With every sunset, a promise made,

In the twilight glow, his dreams cascade.


Through whispering woods and babbling brooks,

He finds his treasure in storybooks,

With every twist and every turn,

New wonders spark, and his heart will burn.

He meets the fox with eyes so bright,

And dances with fireflies in the night,

The stars above, like diamonds strewn,

Guide his steps beneath the moon.


He gathers friends, both big and small,

A loyal pup, and a wise old owl,

Together they laugh, together they play,

In their little world, they’ll forever stay.


With secret forts and hidden trails,

They sail on ships with paper sails,

In their imaginations, they soar so high,

Adventurers bold, they touch the sky.


As seasons change and years go by,

The little boy learns to dream and fly,

With every challenge, he grows so strong,

In the heart of the world, he knows he belongs.


So let him roam, this little boy,

In pursuit of sun, in search of joy,

For in his chase, he finds the way,

To fill the world with light each day.


And when he’s grown, with wisdom gained,

He’ll share the light that still remains,

For in his heart, the child will stay,


A little boy who chased the day.

In every laugh, in every cheer,

His spirit lives, forever near,

So let the shadows play and dance,

For in his quest, there lies a chance.
