How I Feel

Finding out your child has autism has changed my whole perspective on life. It may me more patient, even when the days are hard. When I think of it I look at my kids and see the jorney they every day trying to ahead and pick up on the little things that we so often take for granted. This poem is dedicated to my boys.  I call the poem ” How I feel”.

 

Yes I run around in circles

I talk when it’s not my turn

sometimes I may seem clumsy

I’m a little uneasy when it comes to certain sounds.

When you use those phrases what do you really mean?

If you can try to be patient with me, I’m sure I’ll get the hang of things.

It might take me a while but give me a fighting chance,

I have a voice that needs to be heard .

When I am frustrated it’s only because I yearn to learn.

When I cry it should let you know, that I do have feeling too.

They’re expressed very differently but in the end you‘ll see my point of view.

Many times I will talk in scripts so that you can identify.

There’s so much I want to tell you, it’s hard for me to share my side.

I thank you for loving me, you can see that clearly in my eyes.

Even when I look away my love can never hide.

Yes I run around in circles.

I may and may not talk at times.

Your love gets me through each day it gives me peace of mind.
