I Want This For Him

Shh! I caution them. He is swimming right now. They look past me trying to see. One asks how? Not sure I admit but it’s his world. Not mine. Hero is holding a bird cage up. Readying himself for a sing. He fancies himself Mark Spitz and Adam Lambert. That’s okay. I want this for him When we first got him he had no self-confidence at all Now he has more than enough for three I have never felt more proud Hero wraps a pink feathered boa around his neck and begins to belt out "Poker Face". He might be better than Lady Gaga!
