A day at the park....it's not what you think

 Dear Life,


What do you see when you look at this picture?
A child in a wheelchair?
A  boy on the sidelines...not participating?



Do you wonder what he's thinking?
Do you wonder if he's sad?
Do you think he knows he's different?



What do you see now?
A little mischief?
A little gleam in his eye?



Do you wonder what's up his sleeve?
Do you wonder how he will climb that mountain?
Do you wonder if he will succeed?




Who do you see with him now?
A big strong boy?
Could it be a brother?


Do you wonder what he said to him?
Do you wonder where they're going?
Do you wonder how strong this big brother is?





What do you think of this mountain they are climbing?
Can his brother carry him all the way up?
Can he hold on the whole time?




Do you wonder what they are thinking?
Do you think he regrets the offer?
Do you think he resents the climb?





What do you think of the smiles?
Or what of the great big hug?
Did they really get there?


Do you see how much he loves him?
Do you wonder if he's tired?
Do you wonder if he'll always be there?




What do you see in this picture?
Isn't he just a regular little boy?
Or is there something different about this brown eyed child?


Do you see that brilliant smile?
Do you see that glow around him?
Do you doubt Him?




Do you see these children?  
Do you see their strengths?  
Do you see their differences? 
 Do you see their love?
Did you see His love?



 His brother said he will carry him over every mountain....he will always be there for him.  That boy doesn't know he's different, and he knows he'll always be lifted up.

This was a day at the park for us. 
What an eye opening experience.

This song reminds me of my boy:

"The Climb"
Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it, but
These are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep the faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, woah
