MY LITTLE BOY SAM
MY LITTLE BOY SAM
HE WAS A TINY ONE JUST
LIKE HIS MOTHER. HE
LOOKED LIKE THREE WHEN HE
WAS REALLY SIX. I TOOK HIM
TO SCHOOL THEY ACCUSED
ME OF UPPING HIS BIRTH
CERTIFICATE. AND MAKE
HIM BE THE RIGHT AGE.
I HAD TO PROVE TO THEM HE
WAS SIX YEARS OLD. THE KIDS
CALLED HIM BABY SAMMY
CAUSE HE WAS SO LITTLE AND
SO SHY.
HE HARDLY SAID ANYTHING
AND HE WAS APT TO CRY. HE
SOON GOT USED TO THEM AND
HE LOVED THEM TOO, BECAUSE
THEY TOOK CARE OF HIM IN
WHATEVER THEY HAD TO DO.
BILLY WAS SO MUCH BIGGER
THAN HIM, BUT THEY GREW
VERY FAST AND SOON SAM
OUTGREW HIM NOT IN BODY
WEIGHT, BUT IN HEIGHT AND
THAT MADE THINGS RIGHT.
