from a mom to a child with Autism
Current mood: thankful
Category: Writing and Poetry

If I could change one thing for you,
I thought that it would be
That God would give you words to say
So you would talk to me

But then I wondered, If instead
I'd rather see your eyes
I'm certain that the key to you
Is hidden deep inside

Again, I thought and wondered still
If maybe it was best
That you could follow my instructions
Then I could take a rest

Or better still for you to give
A kiss upon my cheek
So you could say "I love you"
Even though you can not speak

But then…I thought again
The answer clear to see
And realized that I am wrong
The one to change… is me

For when you need to speak
And when I need to hear
Your actions tell me volumes
Your "words" are loud and clear

Instead of wishing for what is not
And wasting precious time
I'd rather treasure what we have
And be thankful you are mine

Within my heart I know one truth
Although at times it seems
My faith grows weak and tired
My mind consumed with dreams

I know you are a gift from God
And I will help you grow
To be the person that you should
And this… the truth I know

Each day will come just as it should
And one challenge that will be
For you to know…I believe in you
Please continue to believe in me

I love you ZAKARY my baby.
