Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

For Gabriel - Who Can Barely Talk

Gabriel -  my autistic nephew 
speaks few word but has a loving face
He has a place in my heart
I try to talk with hm
Even taught him a few songs
A couple of tiby the Lemon Pipers
and one by Nat King Cole 
Let poetry and music guide your days
and thinks of people like Gabe
who enrich our lives

Andrea Dietrich June 19, 2018 at 6:03 PM Is this the poem you were mentioning to me. I hope your nephew is not sick. I think you told me it was YOU that was sick?? This is , as Teppo says, heartwarming.
