Some-days, I can not hold back the tears,
I ache for what has been wrongly stolen from you,
the simple joys of life,
you have always been the light of my life,
My own ray of sun.
even when your own eyes are dimmed,
by this damn theif called "Autism"
One day,
I will find a way to return your voice to you,
and you will see, and know,
that what you are,
is beyond special,
for if I had just an ounce of your strength,
my faith could move mountains,
but for now, I cry somber tears
as I watch you slide farther from yourself,
and from me,
Never give my up angel,
you are my hero,
and I will not let some
masked stranger take you away,
NO!!!
I would die to save you..
I miss your smile, My dear sweet child..
I miss it so very very much.

I swear, this almost made me cry. Absolutely beautifully written poem; I feel for you. Thank you for bringing up a very difficult topic that is, in so many ways, horribly undermined by so many people. It must have taken a lot to put this poem out there and I applaud you and pray for you and your son.

I am so sorry, my grandson has Aspergers, I understand the anger, the pain and the sorrow you have penned so well. He is my first grandchild, I watched him enter this world, I hate sometimes that I can't reach him. Though he is high fuctioning, there is a blankness in his eyes. It saddens me.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. -
Wow
It is okay to feel anger. You have done a good job of putting that emotion into words, which has always helped me. So much love shows in this write. Thank you so much for showing...

One of my friends helps children with autism. I have no personal experience with it, but in other forms, I know the feeling of: "wrongly stolen from you" and "missing your smile".
Things often thought and felt based upon abuse. Eerily similar in many ways.
