LOVE FOR A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD

Ellon Rays 1998 (Nairobi)



A fourteen-year-old Love for a girl somehow made some sense, by seating in church
 and staring at a boy!
a boy who sometimes is staring at another girl,
And if by chance you were the girl getting stared at, getting stared at meant being pretty!
A fourteen-year-Old Love for a boy, meant seating through church, past Sunday school and past the first and the second services,
Love for a fourteen-year-old boy was staring at a girl
a girl who you are incomprehendably drawn to,
Love was if by chance the girl stared back,
Cheating for a fourteen-year-old boy is if another pretty girl showed up in church, and
you couldn't help but stare
