"Special" Brother

My brother's in a wheelchair
and he can't jump or run.
But I can throw a ball to him
to catch, and we have fun.

He can't do a lot of things
that other kids can do.
He needs help getting dressed
and he can't tie his shoes.

Mommy told me it's called special
when a child is born that way.
... I said I could have told her that.
My brother's special every day.

CJ,

He is special, indeed, as is every child (or adult) who perceives themselves imperfect in a so called "perfect" world. Thank you for this one, this needs to be published! One of your best--definately a keeper. As are you.

(((HUGS))) and love, karla.

Superb... would that we adults could view each other similarly... seems all we tend to do is to accentuate each other's dis-abilities at times. You and Karen should get together! :)) Children have no prejudice until they learn it... Wonderful write, CJ. TY Kate xx

This brings tears to my eyes. I think of Little Pauly, my stepson who is severely autistic...once in a while, you might think he recognizes you, but the next second he's off to a place only Pauly knows! If the ball is red, he might be interested enough to catch it!
He is SO special as is this write!
Thank you for sharing CJ!
