Caleb

He's quiet
unbalanced
but always smiling.
He tells jokes
in broken speech
from a paperback
joke book
he's memorized.
He walks slow
but seemingly
with a purpose.
He's a brother
a son
an inspiration.
He overcame
a threatened life
through surgeries
and recovery
and rehabilitation.
He conquered
and carried on.
Studied
harder than all.
Graduated.
With a smile.
He's tough
but gentle.
He's a friend
an inspiration
a miracle.
Caleb.
