 I wait I wonder I listen I pray Waiting for outcomes Still far away Who can hear my silent cry? And still do nothing Just stand by Apparently many So it seems Lost in their own Superficial dreams I wait I wonder I listen I cry As the days and weeks And years go by. © Mary Ann Harrington These poems express my assumptions on what my friends with severe movement, sensory, and language difficulties may be expressing through their fear, anger, loneliness, stubborn resolve and frustration. I have served as a teacher of individuals with autism for 18 years. What they have taught me was to be sure of nothing, and open myself to the extraordinary. It has been and continues to be a remarkable ride.
