Blessings
My daughter my best friend, autism does not define her, sweet, funny, a spirit so full of life, she has such a joy so full of life. While as her mom I cannot deny..
While I was tracing maps of fear,
Her upbeat heart made heaven near.
That smile, a gift she freely gives,
Is proof of how the Spirit lives.
Not bound by labels, jobs, or walls,
She hears the song that mercy calls.
A bubbling brook, a radiant grace,
I see God’s kindness in her face.
Animals, both extinct and alive I dare anyone to test her of her knowledge, while watching fish, turtles, ducks while sitting upon her favorite dock, sipping lemonade on a bright sunny day.
Thus is how she sees our Heavenly Fathers love, who am I to interrupt, if only I could make today’s society see her potential, please God help me here, I cannot bear to think, she will still someday, leave from under my wing, to live where we won’t be there to protect her.
As I dry my tears, I can hear her funny laugh, her ear to ear smile, someone has caught a huge fish, snappy the turtle has made a appearance, Jesus thank you for sending forth your creation, to remind me that I need not worry, You are in charge, thank you.
