This Child of Mine







1



This child of mine,

Outside he looks fine...



2

Two ears, two eyes and a nose,

And his ten pretty toes.

Ten fingers and nails,

But in pointing...he fails.



3

And if you look closely, you’ll see,

That he’s not looking at me.

Blank stares go right through,

As I’m looking at you.



4

And alone he will play,

Day after day...after day.

The few words he’ll utter

Make no sense to his mother.



5

As reality sets in,

My heart’s breaking within.

“Autism spectrum disorder”

A “label” – like any other.



6

But what does it mean,

When my foe is unseen?

They just don’t understand,

Across this great land.






7

Normal foods act as dope,

As more parents lose hope.

And doctors aren’t shown,

How leaky gut’s grown.



8

Oh, how can it be,

That all fail to see?

What’s wrong with my child-

What makes him so wild!



9

Some say: “Give him a pill,

And he’ll sit nice and still...”

But, what good would it do?

I’d forever lose you!



10

Yes - I understand!

And I’ll take your hand.

You’ll leave your shell,

And, again, you’ll be well.



11

Your battle – I’ll fight

With all my might!

And I’ll make them see,

For you’re precious to me!



12

This child of mine...

Outside he looks fine...

What a beautiful poem...Thank you for sharing!thank is a great poems

"Foe Unseen"? What's that supposed to mean? Parents need to embrace autism and treat it as who the child is, not as a evil cancer which will destroy a child.
