He Is Part I

He is:
  Wounded and broken,
  Terribly soft-spoken.

He used: 
  To be so full of life and zest, 
  And was always on some quest.

He is:
  So incredibly withdrawn,
   And all his smiles are gone.

He used:
  To be without any fear,
   And always full of cheer.

He is:
  An artist that is incredibly gifted,
  And his rare smiles make my heart uplifted.

He is:
  So smart and bright that when he does write
   His stories, your imagination he does ignite.

Why can't he:
   See that for him I would walk through fire,
    And stand there and face his everlasting ire?

Why can't he:
   See that I would give my very last breath,
   In order that he never has to face death?

Why can't he:
    Realize that I hate to see
    Him so wounded before me?

Does he:
  Not know that from the very start,
  He grabbed a hold of my heart?

 Will he:
    Ever be able to see,
    That he is the world to me?

He is:
  Never to be outdone,
  For he is my second-born son.

He needs:
  To see whether this trouble or some other,
   That I am here and will ALWAYS be his mother!

He needs:
   To know that no matter his grudge
    Or what he decides to do, I will not judge!

He needs:
  To know that no matter the strife 
   He may cause, but he is still my WHOLE life!
