SPECIAL ONE
<p>
We are all special in some way but those individuals <br>
Who live each day handicapped <br>
Are the true special people, <br>
I can say. <br><br>
Overcoming trials and tribulations <br>
Of doubt and despair <br>
Of ever becoming good enough or accepted <br>
In society today. <br><br>
Wanting to become one of the accepted <br>
Instead of one of the lesser few.<br>
Not to be left out but let in as if saying <br>
"I can feel too".<br><br>
"I may not walk and talk the same as most persons <br>
I am human, I can see",<br>
This is what they are saying when they are unable to express themselves<br>
Like most normal people do. <br><br>
Imagining the feeling of realizing at an early age, <br>
An individual was told the truth <br>
Of their infirmity by their parents, <br>
Of what they are. <br><br>
The cries the pain and suffering <br>
By both parents and child <br>
Would be too much to imagine, <br>
By far <br><br>
Yes they are special in many ways that you or I can't see. <br>
It takes a certain kind of patience <br>
And understanding and love <br>
To care for one of these special ones. <br><br>
On the outside they are plagued with deformity of muscle <br>
Or speech impairment <br>
In not knowing when their speaking <br>
Is done <br><br>
One of God's creatures has made great strides from medicine and health<br>
And a person's ability to have strength <br>
And endurance of overcoming obstacles of defeat <br>
To live. <br><br>
How proud they must feel <br>
To know they can be like the rest of us <br>
And all they ever wanted was to have a normal life <br>
That they could give.
