A Selection of his Poems and Writings
A Visitation
I was sitting in the mall
watching people walk by
and because I am useless
it’s about all I can do
Suddenly two young boys
burst onto the scene
instantly the people sensed
they were something different.
One came over to me
rubbing his small hands
over my smooth coat
he was obviously so spastic.
He couldn’t speak at all
he didn’t need to really
his beautiful twisted face
spoke words not known.
Their guardians were aware
of this rare situation
they need not have feared
God was visiting his people.
