    Richie's Gift - a poem for a special boy
    This was written for a boy who suffers from LKS Epilepsy, and for his father, Rich.

    Richie's Gift

    He loves the twinkling lights and
    -- scent of fresh-cut pine
    He takes you on trips
    -- through his imagination and mind
    He speaks to you through eyes
    -- so clear, they can see eternity
    He holds in his heart, a light
    -- a love for you, that all can see.

    No words need be said, tho he cannot speak
    -- with these gifts exchanged
    No tears need be shed
    -- but tears of love and joy
    No explanations for his daily strife
    -- so long as you are there
    No reason given, for cares in so young a life
    -- but the strongest love with all to share.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
