Boyish Swagger

Vibrant cheers he exudes Along his blissful smile Midst mirth-filled greetings Shaking hands with everyone Oblivious of disability’s vexation… Triumphantly presenting his abstract art work His boyish swagger prevails, devoid of haughtiness Revealing “confidence-to-the max” wholehearted glee With his branded thumbs-up sign Defying hypocrisy’s jeers… Approaching the sanctuary’s altar with joy He is meekly propelled by his swagger walk While I prop him with love and patience Thanking God* for the honourable privilege To assist a special child, testifying "I'm proud of him."
*2Chronicles 5:13…Make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; …For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever… September 4, 2019 1st place, "SWAGGER" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier; judged on 9/6/2019.
