Making a Small Difference

My little charge is dear to me, He barely hears and cannot see Born with challenges of every kind A more adorable kid you cannot find He breathes with difficulty and cannot eat His daily existence is a tremendous feat But he has a sweetness that is so rare He elicits love for all to share In the scheme of daily life I know No laurel wreaths on me bestow But a small difference I think I make For in his life great pride I take.
