He’s no different

This is a story about a little boy,

Who has no fears and has a lot of joys.

He melts your heart with one little smile,

If your lucky enough he'll wink with one eye.

He laughs and screams he's a little joker at heart,

He has the cutest face throughout the human race - and he’s just so smart.

He tries his best to crawl,

Gives that cheeky smile with a little drool.

He tries to stand his ground,

And he can get real loud - But he’s so adorable.

He loves his Nursery rhymes,

He listens to all music.

You should see his impersonation of Michael Flatley,

How he loves to River Dance.

He has his favourite movies of all time,

He falls asleep to Call of Duty,

He loves Zombies and raging kids online,

You should see him when I win.

Have you seen the way he sits and plays?

He leans to the side and sometimes sways.

His head sinks down to his knees,

He still laughs at himself – he must get that from me!

He still finds time to blow my mind,

But of course he is after all my miracle child

Alex is his name.

He’s so different yet the same

You wouldn’t even know he was disabled if I hadn’t have shoved it in your face.

Did you see his hearing aids?

No!

Shit! He’s pulled them out!

Mum, you look this way, I’ll look that,

I’m sure we’ll seek them out.

His disability is invisible to the everyday eye,

But if you look closely you'll see he's not just disabled - he’s a little boy.

He lives and he breathes just like you,

So why do people treat him like he's such a tool.

Yes, he has a label I know this to be true,

But surely being different is better than there being you.

He's one of a kind to me,

He's special can you see?

He treats everyone the same,

So why don't you smile at him as he passes you,

So we’ll keep on trucking with our awesome lives,

Because we don’t give a crap what you think – Yes, he does have a boggle eye!
