Why Are You Sad

You there, young one

I see eyes, that are sad

You're a child, with a full life ahead

With a heart, young and glad

You there, young one

What is this here

Upon your cheek

Do I see a tear?

Young one, you there, crying

Sitting by yourself, alone

Tis this life a burden?

You're not, even yet, grown

And then this young one

Begins to speak, as he looks at me ...

True, I am but still young

But, I am 'different' you see

The other children laugh

And call me names

They taunt and tease

And won't let me play in their games

I am slow and don't understand

My words are jumbled when I talk

My legs don't work just right

When I walk

In school, I am in a class

Called special education

When I grow up

College will not be a destination

And because I am slow

Things, I easily forget

With their sweet talking voices

They use trickery and wit

They get me to carry all their books

I do, aren't they my friend?

They have me running here and there

But, I think their friendship is pretend

They tell me ....

"Stand on the desk and bark"

No one speaks up, in my behalf

Then behind my back

They snicker and laugh

Oh, how I want to fit in

I do what they say

They make me look a fool

And I thought they were letting me play

Even the children younger than I

Try to kick and hit me too

I could hit and kick, I'm bigger

But, I might really hurt them, if I do

So ... I don't

Young one, I do see sadness

in your eyes

But, oh, young one

You are so wise

You are all grown now

And this is what I find

Tenderness and compassion

A young man, but still a child, in mind

Your heart is filled

With so much love

When you look at me, and see me sad

You come over and give a hug

When I needed help

To get something off a shelf

You've grown so much taller than me

"Let me get that, Mom,

you can't reach by yourself"

I looked outside

The snow was deep today

There you were shoveling our walk

Then, without being asked,

You cleaned the neighbor's driveway

But, more important than anything

You were taught, right and wrong

from the Bible, everyday

And now, you try and do

Everything the Lord's way

I am so proud

When I look at you

I know this ...

The Lord is too

God Bless You, Young One

Dedicated to my two sons

that are mentally challenged,

and to everyone that is challenged

mentally or physically.

As long as there is breath inside of me
NO ONE, will ever take advantage of my boys again.
And when I am gone, their sister and brother-in-law
hold the same conviction as I do.

Because, it matters not
how old these special people are
Someone will ALWAYS try to use them
to their own advantage.
