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
