Melancholy Memory

He, my childhood friend I really didn't notice That he was different I loved him.. We played together Innocent of misplaced genes He wanted to be with me Simple days.. He was so happy Blissfully unaware Downs Syndrome was his curse Ignorance.. He was sent away " For his own good" they said My innocence dying How I cried.. In another time His gifts would be nourished A melancholy heart My friend Steve..
