You can see him
He's so small
When you first held him
Still in the hospital a month later
And you didn't know what to do

You can still see him
When he sleeps next to you
Tangled with dreams and a Buzz Lightyear blanket
The way he's curled
So tiny and fragile

You can almost see him
When he runs
And they said no for months
Until he learned to crawl
Roll over
Stand

You can see him


The author's comments:
When my nephew was born the dortors said he was going to be paralized on his left side and probably have brain damage. He is now a completely normal, healthy almost four-year-old.
