Their Own World - a Poem About Autism
The people blessed with Autism
Are unique in their own way,
For they live in their own world
Each and every single day.
The cause remains a mystery
No two people are the same,
For they live in their own world
There’s no one that you can blame.
They are special and quite complex
Yet their hearts are made of gold,
For they live in their own world
Most do only what they’re told.
It effects each one so different
Many are smart and work alone,
For they live in their own world
Feel safest when they’re home.
Many of them can learn when taught
But only at their own pace,
For they live in their own world
Patience is what it takes.
Their uniqueness is a blessing
Take each day that you can get,
For they live in their own world
You will know when you have met.
Experts say they must have sameness
I found this not to be true,
For they live in their own world
They’ve feelings like me and you.
One day at a time is a must
Give them a chance just to grow,
For they live in their own world
Their talents begin to show.
They all have their own little niche
Some can paint do math and more,
For they live in their own world
Have faith and don’t shut the door.
Some people are just ignorant
Consider them strange a tad,
For they live in their own world
Which really isn’t that bad.
So if you can ever enter
Into their hearts you must go,
For they live in their own world
Which is difficult to show.
