This poem is in memory of William H. He had Down Syndrome. He once told me that he didn't like being this way. He was referring to his Down Syndrome. Having the self awareness of his own Down Syndrome has followed me with wonder all these years since. "Chile" being an African American and southern expression for child. POTW (12/22/24 and POTD 12/23/24) I am surprised at the attention this poem is getting WOW!
You are a brother
And a son, special gifts
For you are known, shown
You are a child
And a man sang "Kumbaya"
"Come by here, O' Lord"
As if to forecast
His love to a family
You held together
In its time of need
Things amazing this poet
If you did know it
You a gift from God
As only He could style
As He opens wide
His arms you greet Him
with your smile, His chile
