Trinity's Eyes

For my niece with autism. Her intrigue melts in silence as she gazes up at me a big surprise behind those eyes that only she can see. She leads me off to nowhere as she takes me by the hand a quiet side, where she abides but doesn't understand Oh let me in to ponder and be there when she sighs As I try to see the great mystery behind Trinity's eyes. Her innocence shines through her like an angel in disguise There's love that knows no boundaries behind Trinity's eyes. Attention may seem distant but she's trying to show me how she craves the warm affection That I shower on her now. In her own sense of wisdom she can dream without the words and try to share with those who care a world meant to be hers love you Trin.

Gayle, my granddaughter is autistic and this poem tugs at my heart. You have put our relationship into words that I longed to express. I have experienced the mystery and innocence of her and loved her simple trusting nature. I can see our Jazzy in Trinity's eyes. Thank you for sharing her with us. Hugs. Janece
