 AUTISM? WHAT IS THIS? MY BOY HAS GONE INTO THE ABYSS... OF LONLINESS WILL HE COME BACK? MY BABY.. MY JOY WHY DOES AUTISM DESTROY? HIS SMILING EYES HAVE GONE FOR NOW I WILL GET THEM BACK... SOMEHOW HE GAZES.. FOR HOURS INTO A LIGHT HE SCREAMS ALL DAY.. HE AWAKES ALL NIGHT AUTISM.. WHAT IS THIS? HE BANGS HIS HEAD.. SO HARD I CRY MY DELICATE CHILD, WHY OH WHY? HE YEARNS TO BE FREE OUTSIDE IN THE AIR CANNOT KEEP HIM IN, BUT I DONT LIKE THE GLARE AS THE PUBLIC STOP AND STARE. AUTISM... WHAT IS THIS? A CURSE IT SEEMS.. BUT WHY ON ME DID I GET IN WRONG? IN PREGNANCY? DID I NOT EAT ENOUGH GOOD FOOD PARDON ME IF I APPEAR RUDE I DID NOT SMOKE, I HAD NO WINE THIS CHILD I THOUGH WOULD BE SOOO DIVINE HAS LEFT ME....WAS THE ERROR MINE? JEALOUSLY I WATCH MY FRIENDS PLAY WITH THEIR ANGELS... I JUST WANT TO LAY WITH MINE.. BUT AUTISM IS THERE... ALL THE TIME. AS HE GROWS I WATCH WITH PRIDE ALL THE TRAITS HE TRIES TO HIDE ALL THE FRIENDS LEFT TO ONE SIDE WASHED AWAY.. WITH THE AUTISM TIDE AUTISM.. WHAT IS THIS? TODAY HE GAVE ME THE MOST PRECIOUS KISS IS HE COMING HOME? COME HOME SON WILL THIS BATTLE EVER BE WON? HIS STEPS ARE SMALL, BUT ONWARD AND UP HE SPEAKS A FEW WORDS AND DRINKS FROM A CUP HE GOES TO THE SHOP NOW AND TRAVEL THE TOWN I HOPE THAT REALITY WON'T BRING HIM DOWN KEEP MY SON SAFE LORD, AS HE GOES ON DONT LET HIM BE OUT... FOR TOO LONG AS I SIT AWAITING ALL ALONE HE RINGS ME ON HIS MOBILE PHONE 'IM OK MUM.. THE BUS IS LATE' OK, I CAN GET OUT OF THIS STATE AUTISM.. HAS MADE MY BOY.. THE MAN HE IS TO BE.. MY PRIDE AND JOY HIS STRENGTH OF CHARACTER HIS ENDURANCE, HIS SMILE THEY HAVE ALL MADE THE JOURNEY OH SO WORTHWHILE. AUTISM.. WHAT IS THIS? MY CHILD, MY LIFE, MY HOPE, MY JOY, MY STRENGHT, MY PRIDE, MY JOURNEY AUTISM... MY JOB IS NEARLY DONE IN A FASHION... TIME TO WATCH HIM SPREAD HIS WINGS TIME TO THINK OF OTHER THINGS... BUT NEVER TO FORGET THE LESSON MOST DIVINE NO MATTER THE PATH WE HAD.. HE IS AND ALWAYS WAS, MINE. ©BUBSMUM |
