A poem I wrote...

The Autism Journey

My boy ambles along on a different road,

I can see him over the way,

I walk each step across from him,

Every hour, every day.

For now we walk on different paths,

but we are on a parallel route,

I am building a bridge over to him,

With love, understanding and truth.

As we step closer and closer still,

I hold my breath with anticipation,

My heart fills with pure warmth, joy,

Each foot fall nearer brings true elation.

I am blessed to be on this path,

The journey has taught me so much,

With the love and support of many,

Our world's will perennially touch.
