My Emotions

    These past couple of months have been pretty tough,
    AUTISM comes with a lot of stuff,
    I have been overcome with so many emotions,
    It hits me like the big waves that come from the ocean,
    There is a constant reminder that it will be okay,
    But reality is AUTISM is here to stay,
    I see her accomplishments big or small,
    Like when she is playing with a ball,
    The littlest moments are always the best,
    Everyday she is put to the test,
    I sit and watch a brave little girl,
    It brings tears to my eyes as she twirls,
    Not a care or worry that runs through her mind,
    Because her day will come for her to find,
    What she is meant to do with her life,
    I hope one day she will be someone's wife,
   There are times that I have doubts about my parenting,
    It feels like my life is just staggering,
    I do my best and always try,
    Because I want her to strive,
    She is full of potential and will succeed,
    I want her to live her life and be as free as can be,
    This world will always judge you,
    Just keep your head high because you belong too,
    I want her future to shine and be bright,
    Living with AUTISM has shown me the light,
    To my journey and my path,
    It will be bumpy and we might crash,
    I know one thing is for sure,
    My daughter has AUTISM and I don't want a cure,
    I love her for who she is loving, kind and sweet,
    She makes my heart skip a beat,
    I love you my dear child forever and always,
    Remember my love will never go astray.

   Mommy loves you always!! I'm very proud to say you are my shining star!!
