Song Of A Special Child Poem by Dann Thomas

Song Of A Special Child

Rating: 4.8


I feel rain
I see a rainbow.
To me a butterfly is pretty too.
But I don't see it the way you do.

Time doesn't question
My every aspiration,
Staring at a face, or into space.
But, lucky me
That's where I should be.


I feel smiles
Sunshine kisses me.
You'd wonder why I smile,
Never would guess by a mile.

I walk alone uncertainly
Stumbling along to eternity
Sometimes a cause, some a loss.
Me, I know
That's where I want to go.


I feel sad
Pain does hurt me.
But my body's not as yours or any,
Doesn't mean I need sympathy.

My life is so extraordinary.
Is it God's reminding note to sundry?
Life's not all fame, neither shame.
You see, I am not
Just another from your lot.

Interesting poem on having special needs, expressed in a candid and matter-of-fact way. The simplicity of lines added strength to the point being made.
