Enthusiastic Charlie

Enthusiastic Charlie
I babysat Charlie who seemed a little shy,
he was really observant and quite wise.
He listened to my stories late at night,
he asked questions and was bright.
He played hockey and basketball too,
he practiced and played afterschool.
He looked up to Michael Jordon
who he wanted to emulate,
he wanted to be like him, really great.
A photo of him and Ellie I do have,
a Christmas scene in a green plaque.
With his sister Ellie he liked to have fun,
joking with her for she was the small one.
Charlie liked to play computer games,
with castles, knights and other far away lands.
Now Charlie is quite older, and he has changed a lot,
he always had the enthusiasm to give it his best shot.
