I Am a Parent of a Child With Autism

I am a parent of a child with autism
I wonder what goes on in her brain
I hear her voice and it is music
I see her smile and my heart melts
I want her to be happy and healthy
I am a parent of a child with autism

I pretend that all is well
I feel the weight of care-giving
I touch her sweet face and know what perfection is
I worry what will happen after I am gone
I sadden when I think that we still have no answers
I am a parent of a child with autism

I understand that science is slow
I dream that she talks to me
I try to stay strong and positive
I say I love you all day long
I hope not another generation must bear this
I am a parent of a child with autism
