Boy In A Bubble
Now Bobby was a smart little kid.
He never got in trouble.
That’s because he spent his life
stuck inside a bubble.
He had a deficiency with his immune system
that left him defenseless .
He could catch almost any disease
leaving him dead or senseless.
He wondered what it would be like
if he could leave his bubble.
He knew it would probably be death.
He hoped that wouldn’t make trouble.
He felt funny one day & got all worried.
The Dr told him he was only going through puberty.
The Dr. explained it all to him.
Bobby wondered what good it was to be in puberty
trapped in a bubble like he was.
He couldn’t meet a girl
Even if his face did have fuzz.
Then, one day, a girl walked by.
She seemed to be about his age.
She was in the hospital for medical treatment.
She came back to watch as Bobby played.
They got acquainted by talking through the bubble.
She was there for something opposite of him.
One day he came out of the bubble just to be with her.
The Dr’s were shocked when they found them.
After much tests they both seemed to be cured.
After many more tests, a miracle they did find.
It seems they cured each other.
As long as they stayed together both would be fine.
This made Bobby happy. It made her happy too.
They were destined to be with one another.
A greater gift could not be found by me or you.
She became much closer than a brother.
They became each other’s soul mates.
Then, when they were old enough, they were married.
God was a major part of their lives.
All their worries & fears He carried.
So ends the story of the boy in the bubble.
Who prayed for help from God
Such a good boy who never got in trouble
His prayers were answered in a way that was odd.
