Do you like this poem?...?

Question

I was thinking of using it in my "Liturature Out Loud" assignment tomorrow. I don't know the title or the author though. I just found it on yahoo! answers. So if you know the title and the author, it would be a big help. Do you think it would be ok to use in a 7th grade reading class?

I will put the poem on additional details.

He was just a little boy
Barely old enough to tie his shoe
He was outside playing
Like little boys tend to do

Out behind the bunkhouse
An old cowboy sat beneath the tree
So he wandered over like little boys do
To see what he could see.

He knew nothing of life’s travails
He’d only lived in this one place
When he walked over to the old cowboy
He could see teardrops on his face

The old man sat there lonesome
For his wife had passed away
The little boy felt his sorrow
And wondered what he should say

Then he found the answer
Like his Daddy’s stories before his nap
He walked over to the old cowboy
And crawled up in his lap

His Mother asked him later
What he said to the elderly gent
For she watched over her little boy
And the places that he went

The little boy just beamed a smile
And quiet came his reply
“I didn’t say anything,” he said
“I just helped him Cry.”

I didn't wright this. I have nno clue who did though. I wish I could write poetry though.
