Smile With Him

He grins, his smile is contagious.
He chortles, you can't help but to join.
Sun makes his hair burn like a halo
His movements are an intricate
and amusing theatre show to watch
It never bores.
When he speaks, he uses pen and paper.
His words are born under his hands
with eloquence and imagination.
He paints them with a theatrical,
overdramatical use of language
that attracts poets, but sends all others
far away.
When he moves, he propels his hands
with increasing speed over his wheel rims,
leaving every one behind,
this gives him joy beyond joys.
He likes to tease, but doesn't understand
your jokes, how incredibly funny
His mouth makes sounds like
t-t-t-t- to t-t-t-t alllllly slowing
down speed, and tics make his face
a wondrous mask as if it's always
Halloween
Oh, he is smart, but no one knows
when they see him,
he opens himself to everyone in blind faith
while nothing ever taught him
to have just that
Love him, hug him, smile with him
the way he smiles and welcomes you.
