HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD

A meeting was held quite far from earth.
Its time again for another birth.
Said the angel to the Lord above,
"This special child will need much love.

Her progress may be very slow;
accomplishments she may not show.
And she'll require extra care
from the folks she meets down there.

She may not run, or laugh, or play;
her thoughts might seem quite far away.
In many ways, she won't adapt
and she'll be known as handicapped.

So let's be careful where she's sent ...
We want her life to be content.
Please, Lord, find the parents who
will do a special job for you.

They will not realize right away
the healing role they're asked to play.
But with this child sent from above
comes stronger faith, and richer love.

And soon they'll know the riches given
in caring for their gift from heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild
is Heaven's very special child.

For Debbie

My daughter, my child,
I have loved you so much,
since inside my womb,
and before I could you touch.

I am always here for you baby,
Your pain breaks my heart,
One day you will stop hurting,
and that day forward will be a new start.

But until that day comes,
I am always at your side,
in my heart I am with you,
as the shore greets the tide.

My darling, my angel,
I can only but try,
to help with your pain,
until the day that I die.

The day my darling will come,
When hurt leaves your side,
I will be here waiting,
to be by your side.

Until that day comes,
you'll be forever in my heart,
from the moment I wake up,
till this life I depart.

Today I cry

I accepted your Autism and I've read all I could
I stopped my mourning as Jim said I should
I love that you spin and dance with no song
I still wish the doctors could somehow be wrong
I watch as your beauty grows everyday
Still I ask for too much, sometimes, when I pray
God gave me a gift, that I always will treasure
But where you will go in life is so hard to measure
I worry about your future and it brings me to tears
What can I expect in 20 more years?
People can be so unkind,
hurtful words that cut so deep
I think about it as you sleep
It hurts me that people don't understand how you are
You are so very special and I hope you go far
I cried today, because of fear,
fear of the future that's so unclear
I cried today but I won't tomorrow
For there is no victory in my sorrow
Joy Cain

A mothers Heart

Every mother has Dreams
Of a child perfect and whole.
Every mother has hopes,
Of perfection body and soul.
They told me you're not perfect,
Sweet loving child of mine.
They told me that your learning,
Is taking too much time.

They tell me that your test came back,
Showing problems and low scores.
They tell me that you have to struggle,
This hurts me to the core.

But they don't see what I see,
The smile that lights your face.
But they don't hear what I hear,
Your laughter reveals God's Grace.

They don't see what I see,
My child loving and whole.
I have Hopes and Dreams,
Because my child you are a gift from God,
And you have a PERFECT SOUL.

This Abyss

Queen of the ocean in which you reside
Strong is the current that pulls inside
Sweet as a mermaid that plays by the reef
My child of the deep, what secrets you keep

Everlasting spirit that roars aloud
Gives me strength to be so proud
So deep and dark, you live in the abyss
Still I crave to know the you within

Though I search for answers, I can't always find
For your ocean is too deep, your ocean is too wide

I Wouldnt' Change a Thing

I just found out it's PDD;
this diagnosis, new to me;
I tossed, and turned, couldn't sleep all night;
They must be wrong;
I know they're right;
Time has gone on now;
and I must say;
I wouldn't change you,
even if they said you may;
I love to see things in "your" way;
it is very different, and unique;
wish we all could take a peek;
your still the same child, I still have many plans for you;
to sing, to dance, do sports, the zoo, to laugh, to cry, or play a flute;
your just going to have to take a different route!
