He never speaks <br /> Trapped within a damaged brain <br /> Body twisted, limbs trembling <br /> Sitting in a hospital yard <br /> Humming tunes without melody. <br /> But in his bright soul he stands tall <br /> Articulate with mind intact <br /> Singing melodious songs of love <br /> Only God and he can hear.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/billy-5/
