An Autistic Child

"I'M IN HERE!' I WANT TO SHOUT, BUT MY MOUTH WON'T LET MY WORDS COME OUT. I'm NOT DUMB, I HAVE WORDS TO SAY,IF ONLY MY VOICE WOULD MY THOUGHTS CONVEY. I SEE YOUR LABOR OF LOVE AND THANK MY GOD ABOVE. I CANNOT READ BUT GOD MAKES ME TO KNOW, HE TAKES CARE OF CHILDREN HERE BELOW, WITH THE GREAT LOVE HE DOES BESTOW. DON'T LABEL ME AS A LOST CAUSE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THE SYSTEM HAS FLAWS. I LOVE YOU DEARLY MY PATIENT FAMILY, AS YOU TRY DESPERATELY TO CARE FOR ME. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A STRONG CONVICTION, PLEASE HELP FIND A CURE FOR THIS UNUSUAL CONDITION.

Jonathan, sad to read about this... thank you for sharing,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
