Beautiful Man

Linda Louise Johnson
Beautiful man

who can't hold my hand

Radiant man

who rides while we walk.

Man of wisdom

no arms to hold us

No bitterness

just love in his eyes.

Miracle man

without any limbs

And the miracle

is what he became.

Beautiful man

of God.

This young man's inspiring story has been seen on You Tube, on the Crystal Cathedral, and other places. Here is a link to one video:

    Wonderful Poem. I love Nick. He is not only a role model for disabled folks like myself, but he should be an example to ALL people. Never complaining or asking for anyone's pity, he loves JOYFULLY! Surely our daily trials pale in comparison! Count your blessings and be thankful!

    Great poem. Better when I found out what it's about! Won't ever forget this one...my speakers are so cheap all I could hear is the music, but the pictures told a very eloquent tale. Whatta guy!
