one by one the verdicts came that caused the pain inside
six little hands, one small world, how would we make the stride
dr's tell me you don't understand,this is why you cry
they say you may never learn, butterflies that cannot fly
they tell me when you bang your heads confusion is deep inside
they tell me it frightens you, a world without a guide
a world which i can't get to, for I don't have a key
a world full of frustration a world without me
i cannot see inside your mind nor take away the pain
my communicated answers makes noise inside your brain
you don't understand me, and take yourself away, you may get mad at me, when i try and play
please know my darlings that mummy wants to help so
I will always be there for you , never let you go
autism will not beat you, the strengths and you will grow
learning and development, along the path we go
we will move what is scary, and take knocks in our stride
and watch you grow beautifully, hearts filled with love and pride
for you are more than "autism", an individual which shines
a vital part of the family,part of me inside
you may never learn to read this but i feel it should be said
i love you with all my heart nomatter what the dr said
i hold you in my arms to comfort and warm
i tell you it will be alright cos mummy makes it calm
i may never have the answers, this you will see
but your own little world is going nowhere without me
no matter what we go through, no matter what we see
i loved you from the very moment god gave you to me
