Autism Poems from Mom to Son
Table of Contents
My Precious Baby
In the nursery’s gentle glow,
Softly, I speak of the love I know.
Tiny hands, future so wide,
In your eyes, worlds collide.
Autism, a part of your unique light,
Colors that dance, differently bright.
Every sound, every touch so new,
In these moments, our bond grew.
My promise, to guide and stay,
Through night's calm and bright of day.
My son, in every breath you take,
You are perfect, make no mistake.

The Responsibility God Has Given Me
In quietude, I sit and see
The task bestowed so trustingly.
Each day unfurls a tapestry,
Woven with threads of you and me.
Challenges, yes, they come and go,
Each a chance for us to grow.
Your smile, a light in shaded places,
Guides me through the untraced spaces.
Gifted with your hand to hold,
A journey through a mold unrolled.
God’s trust, a profound embrace,
In your eyes, His grace I trace.
I pray for strength to lead you right,
Through sterner tests and softer light.
Blessed am I, this role to play,
In your story, day by day.

Don’t Feel Shy
In this room of noise and cheer,

No need to shy away today.

Proud am I, as time goes by,
My son, please, don’t feel shy.
