Sometimes I long for conversation

To be able to talk with you and not at you

To be able to know all your childish thoughts

Cherishing all the fantastic ideas you would share with me.

Oh, but I get moments, crystal clear ones

Where there is spontaneous thoughts spoken

But, like a refreshing breeze that gust out of no where

 Retreating to places I am not invited, so those moments are.

 

I hold you tight and you become limp

You have yet to crawl up into my lap and snuggle

But I can hold you close, you allow that.

I get greedy, I want more than a word here or there

I get greedy, I want more after so much has already been given.

I don’t know why…I suppose it is because I worry

Worry things will be hard for you

Worry that you will struggle

Worry that I won’t be the parent you need.

 

I have your smile

Your laugh, your funny ways

You move slowly, you notice life around you

Your unique qualities are like a precious gem

I treasure them, they are priceless.

 

So this is autism

So this is what it is like living w/autism

I am reminded that 'there is a time to laugh

And there is a time to cry'.

So it is w/Autism… we can do both at the same time.

themary38722.8966435185Beautiful....that's all I can say.Wonderfully writen,  Thanks for sharing. thats really lovely thanks for letting us  read itThat's beautiful, Mary.............thanks guys.   WOW nice read !It's a wonderful read. I cried when I read it. Wow Mary!  You sure know how to put the button holes in the correct place for the next buttons to come!  How very sad, but true your statements are.   My hubby doesn't understand why sometimes i get emotional...he thinks i should always think logical and not with my heart.  He doesn't share in my emotions at all.  Perhaps that is why I cry silent tears.  Thanks screech...tonight is my night w/the silent tears.  My husband isn't there for me emotionaly either.  My husband is a man who only thinks in one dimention...himself.  Its ok though because I worry enough for the both of us. That was sooo wonderful and true! THanks for sharing with all of us !wow..........lovely poem. I might try and come up with a response to that...........a poem response, from an autistic's perspective................

thanks for sharing.

That was wonderful and very true.  My husband does not understand why I get so emotional sometimes either.  He just thinks everyone should be strong all the time, not me

 

Mary, the poem was beautiful

Screech & Mary  - I know where you are coming from. If I cry DH says, stop crying, and fight it! Well, I do fight it but sometimes crying helps me fight and helps me get strong, weird huh?

Again, beautiful poem!

laugh and cry, till there are no more tears left. lovely poem.That is sooooooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Great poem
