I found this on a local autism message board. Thought I would share:
EYES OF BLUE
I try to see your world through your eyes of blue…
that occasional look…without a clue
You sometimes laugh and sometimes cry
For reasons only God knows why….
Where do your memories take you …
So far away from home….
You notice everything around you
Yet your mind so often roams….
Does it bother you my sweet child
That you cannot join in and bring,
Your thoughts and ideas to the table…
And talk about anything?
But I can read your pretty face
Your sadness and your smiles.
Your laughter brings such joy to me
You are a very special child.
Do you notice that you are different?
It doesn’t seem to be true
You walk around in your own lil world….
You and those eyes of blue….
(With Love to my autistic grandchild from her BB)
