They have names
For him and opinions
About him
Disapproving
He expects no more
Than the unwanted change
Of our excess
A cigarette to quell
The madness of addiction
Surprised that he is loved
The more in deprivation
A child of God
His song finds a hearing
In Heaven and in me
A voice deeply lived in
Beyond his years
May he be blessed
More deeply still
As I in him am blessed
