A meeting was scheduled by the angels above
About a newborn babe about to be born
He would require much care and nurturing love
To aid in his growth from dust until dawn

Dr.Rodisky prepped and prepared Tommy’s Mom
For His awesome grand entry into this world
Little does she know the dilemma awaits her
Of this precious new babe she patiently waited for

A puzzled look transformed his demeanor
Something is wrong and we must do a cesearian
“Oh Please Dr, tell me, Is everything OK”?
Just relax, count to 10, it'll be all over soon.

Moments went by and Tommy finally arrived
The nurses they laid him at his Mommy’ s side
For this newborn baby boy had features so different
Not exactly what Mom envisioned throughout those 9 months

She held him so close and there was an instant bonding
While the tears rolled down her cheeks so unending
Tommy’s Dad stood by and uttered not a word
“This could not be happening” He silently thought

Not the healthy little baby boy they’ve all prayed for
Upon his tender face revealed a noticeable distortion
Snuggled in Mom’s arms he felt no harm
A world He will have to survive without arms

The angels they hovered over Tommy so close
A shield of protection will be they ultimate goal
For this baby will require much attention you see
His life’s just beginning with such negativity

Tommy blossomed and grew into the most beautiful flower
Despite obstacles He amounted into this giant tower
Full of contentment and Love for others
Implanted in him was a seed of power

In each of us there is a the potential need to be accepted
Don’t look down on others to fulfill this longing
Search deep within your heart and you will see
When you reach out to the unlovable will be the unlatching key


*This poem I wrote with the intention of enlightening others to see the
reality that handicap/dissabilities in others can be overcome by reachng out
and accepting others for who they are. what truly determines a person
character is those values instilled in that invidual and the gift of
utlizing those good values to accept the things which we have no control
over. Love is the key that unlocks the door to a great future!
