The Special Needs Parent

His life perfect
at least that's how he viewed it
the typical dream of most
a house
a coupl'a nice cars
a lovely wife
and that one and a half kids

Yes, one was on the way

His boy

Excited
he let all his friends know
told of all his plans
how his son would become
club champion
not only in tennis
but golf as well

Oh how he would mold his son

Then it all crashed
the doctors said
there was little hope
the boy would be born normal

A great sorrow set in upon him
he wondered how this could happen
how could they deal with a child
with special needs

He and his wife
knew that they had no choice
but to accept a son
who would require special care

The day came
his son was born
the doctor handed the baby over to the father
and as he received the crying infant
the baby immediately took hold
of the mans little finger

A grimace that the man had worn
for the last three months
turned to a smile as
he found a deeper love
than he knew could ever exist
