    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.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
