Flame

December 04, [1984] is a special day.
The birth of my niecey changes our ways.
     Light a fire to rejoice childbirth.
She is a flame glimmering in the world.
     Name gave - Flame V - supernova seed
Autism spectrum emerged at 2.
     She inspires and motivates.
She ascertains to live resiliently.
     Elated this year for thirty years

This is a lovely write, Verlena! All children should be a flame to light up family hearts. Autism should never stop us from loving and showing them affection. I have experienced this with chn in my classes at school. You must all be proud of her! // paul
