Just cause he's different doesn't mean you can't smile at him

we are all different, and nobody can stay the same forever

my brother is 

especially different

cause he's the greatest guy on earth that's why

but he doesn't live on the same planet as we do

but he still went to the same school

saw the same movies

made the same friends

but he is especially different

so he was treated different

a few would laugh at him

a few would ignore him

a lot wouldn't play with him

a lot never looked at things as seen from the world he lives in

but then

even more would laugh

and listen

and play

and live with that carefree jubilance he always has

a lot of people are really

really

awesome

you saw him in the mall so you ran up and hugged him

you saw him at the movies so you sat next to us

you gave him a high five

you loved him like a brother

like I do

so I loved you back

cause you deserved it

those kind words

those small gestures

those make the world for my brother

those make the world for us all

even if it wasn't you then, one day it will be

and then I'll love you too

cause you'll be really

really 

awesome
