Free Spirit

A have a little brother. 
His name is Nathan. 
He is like none other. 
I call him my lucky star. 

Nathan can't walk. 
He sits in a chair with wheels, all day. 
Nathan can't talk. 
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have anything to say. 

Everytime I see him, I say a prayer. 
Thanking God for this precious gift. 
The gift isn't a toy or a teddy bear, 
But its the gift of a smiling face and a giddy laugh, 

Just because he is stuck in a chair all day, 
doesn't mean he has no thoughts or feelings. 
He loves to laugh and play, 
He is a person, just like me and you. 

Sometimes I wonder though, 
does he want to walk and talk? 
I wish I could know. 
Oh, how much I love him. 

His legs don't work, 
Its hard for him to speak 
But his face has a perk, 
And his spirit runs free.
