What Does The Future Hold?

1946, Shore of Lake Michigan

Look at the picture of the little boy, playing by himself near the waters of Lake Michigan.

I wonder what became of him.  The back of the photograph says it was taken in 1946.  I suppose his mother took this picture.  Perhaps she took him to the lake for a picnic.  Maybe she and her husband were simply out for a pleasant walk by the lake and decided to take a picture of their little boy.

I wonder if the little boy grew up to have his own dreams in life---did he like sports?  Maybe he was an athlete?  Or maybe he became a dreamer---a poet, or a writer of novels, or a folk singer or such.

Did he find love in life?  Did he find a woman who understood him and made him complete?  Was he a man of God, a believer?  Did he influence others in his life?  Did he have children, and if he did, do they remember him as a good man who loved them?

I wonder if this little boy found happiness, and I wonder if he was able to pass along to others the valuable things he learned as he passed through his time on earth.

I wonder.......
