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
it’s the first poem I read this morning, but I couldn’t comment, & I still can’t find the right words for it.. there’s something so magical about it, but that’s not even close to a proper description of this piece… in any case, I really loved it! 🙂
Hey man thanks so much!! Glad you took the time 🙂
I wonder if you have read this to your niece? I wonder what she thought. I think we are all on the autism spectrum, in one way or another. I know an amazing writer who comes up with some really unique stories, maybe due to his autism, maybe not. Anyway, this is a grand write, not sentimental and a personal insight into a small part of the world of you and your niece.
I haven’t but I think her mother may have. She was still quite young when I wrote this.
So much loved displayed in this well written piece. Thank God for loving family members like you.
Thank you Lumiere. She is well loved, that’s for sure!
That’s wonderful! 🙂
