“Our Paul”

 

The anticipation of Paul’s arrival,

turned to disappointment and little joy.

This baby was different…he was not right.

What they did not know was they had a “Special” boy.

 

Somethings were difficult for him to comprehend,

like walking and talking- those skills took a while.

But God gave him something from the start,

the ability to laugh and that “Special” smile.

 

Reading and writing were things he couldn’t do.

Some called him retarded-just plain not smart.

Paul didn’t mind not knowing those things,

cause he knew how to be a friend.

He had a “Special” heart.

 

Paul didn’t care if you had money or fame,

if you were poor or living life in disguise.

He could see through all those things,

to a person’s inner beauty. He had “Special” eyes.

 

Listening to gossip, rumors or negativity

was something Paul never learned in all his years.

But he could hear a baby cry, a kitty purr,

or the beat of a dancing tune. He had “Special” ears.

 

Yes, Paul was “Special” in so many ways.

He could brighten your day or give your spirit a lift.

Some of the world seen him as a burden,

but we considered him as our “Special” gift.

 

Mary Balan
