above the special card
a hand but chubby and with butter-fingers loose
the pen like a small bludgeon
and lines
from unstable tip gross erratic drawled
and no Big Word
but truth
full of kisses funny
wobbles “ Happy Day!! With lots of Andrew!”
Your love is so rich in your words. You make your sons come alive when I read them. I've had friends with Down's Syndrome angels in their lives. So much love, love, love! So hard for their parents not to fear for their beautiful children.

Thank you for sharing all your stories of Andrew. I cannot imagine what this must be like. Though I am familiar with quite a few, all the stories I know are vicarious like yours. Hugs to you both. Some days am sure you both need one.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!! God has blessed you with a special talent and a special child... I am so moved.... God bless you and your family... INDEED!
ReplyDeleteI feel lied to. This is pretty but drawled in the way you're using it is the past participle of the verb "to drawl" as opposed to the noun "drawl" as an indicator of a style of speech.
ReplyDeleteStill though, I am RTing this bad boy because it is pleasant.
"a hand but chubby and with butter fingers loose"
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
My children are all grown now. I have a lot of cards like this. Lovely :)
