Gentle Intelligence
Some would call her a little slow;
others never labeled her but
just accepted her “as is”.
Today I discover we are all wrong.
I found that in her heart lives a song
to be played and registered as an opus
announcing an intelligence
unknown to us
the ones who know it all.
Her insight blinded
by our failure to see the truth
hidden in her gentle soul.
From her I learn
humility and the meaning
of unconditional love
and compassion.
A lesson I will never forget.
