Gabriel

He can barely talk
   since he was born with severe autism 
I taught him a Lemon Piper and a Nat King Cole song 
He likes music! 
But will never have a girlfriend 
or work for pay 
   Friends, if you feel bad about missing out 
on fame or fortune 
Consider the case of Gabriel - whom we love 
Be thankful you can talk!!
