Birthday
Ode To My Son Joe
By Gina Agosta
You lived a life of pain and suffering
What simple
pleasures you enjoy are never fading
No one can imagine what you endure day to day
Only those like
you in the same entrapment can
You long for perfection in an imperfect world
The order is not
within your realm
Plagued by the Auroras
that surround your mind
The overload of
stimulation triggers chaos and flight
As you age, the ladder shortens
The uphill climb
bears more weight
You tire more than ever as the pharmacological mix chars
your brain cells
The long life of
sameness that keeps you in the bubble does not pop
Time and illness has taken its toll
You are different
yet the same
You still stay bonded and true through the haze
As life hasn’t
been fair or serene
Others have had more expectation of you than you can handle
But, in the end
you somehow always pulled through
Time and again you showed your brilliance to a World
A World not often ready
for you
You are there, as some can see
You are there
especially for me
I am proud of you
As no one can see
you as my eyes do
I look beyond the grief and woe
To find you as
only I can know
You are my son and I love you with all my heart and soul
Till time ends
and feelings cease
You are my very special boy
My son Joe
