This Child Of Mine...

   

 

1

 

This child of mine,

Outside he looks fine...

 

2

 Two ears, two eyes and a nose,

And his ten pretty toes.

Ten fingers and nails,

But in pointing...he fails.

 

3

 And if you look closely, you’ll see,

That he’s not looking at me.

Blank stares go right through,

As I’m looking at you.

 

4

 And alone he will play,

Day after day...after day.

The few words he’ll utter

Make no sense to his mother.

 

5

 As reality sets in,

My heart’s breaking within.

“Autism spectrum disorder”

A “label” – like any other.

 

6

 But what does it mean,

When my foe is unseen?

They just don’t understand,

Across this great land.

 

7

 Normal foods act as dope,

As more parents lose hope.

And doctors aren’t shown,

How leaky gut’s grown.

 

8

 Oh, how can it be,

That all fail to see?

What’s wrong with my child-

What makes him so wild!

 

9

 Some say: “Give him a pill,

And he’ll sit nice and still...”

But, what good would it do?

I’d forever lose you!

 

10

 Yes -  I understand!

And I’ll take your hand.

You’ll leave your shell,

And, again, you’ll be well.

 

11

 Your battle – I’ll fight

With all my might!

And I’ll make them see,

For you’re precious to me!

 

12

This child of mine...

Outside he looks fine...
