Loving Him From a Distance

I just stood in the doorway of the bedroom
and watched him as he lie sleeping.
To me, the most beautiful person in the world,
my autistic son of 16 years.

I have never seen him so calm, handsome and
just perfect.
How I wish I could curl up next to him like a
normal child. But, knowing the most likely
out come, I am best off just standing here
stealing this beautiful moment, and loving
him from a distance.
