My Little Middle One
He smiles and laughs freely.
He drags his legs behind.
Trying to keep up.
My little middle one.
His determination strong.
His mind fixed.
Being part of what he's lost.
He surpasses my expectations.
Nothing will stop him.
Especially not pity.
His physical pride well earned.
His mind still stained with
memories lost.
Confusion, anger of things misunderstood.
He walks amung men.
Now as a father he teaches his own.
Not expecting perfection.
Just determination and
the ability to understand.
