This is really a very lovely poem. It shows tenderness and caring, and it actualy brought a smile to my lips at the end. Autistic children have a lot to deal with, but when they are shown love and caring with tenderness then their world is a little bit better. I love reading this poem. You have a very tender heart. A 10 and thank you for sharing. Love & hugs, Barbara

Simply beautiful. I read this poem three times before I commented. How special the two of you are.
You see what lies inside that is trying to communicate out. Very in depth poem. Once one sees what you see - only then can they understand.
Very well written Cheryl! This child has a unique way of expressing himself. He seems to be at peace with himself though those around him may not be able to understand him. He is in a ipbeat attitude!
