Australian English: For Matthew, a beautiful child living with Autism

         
*Flower1* *Flower2* *Flower3* *Flower4* *Flower5* *Flower6* *Note1* *Flower1* *Flower2* *Flower3* *Flower4* *Flower5* *Flower6*


The world is a wonderful garden
Full of colour, life and bloom,
Yet in the midst, a little flower stands,
Surrounded but somehow alone -
Not quite the same.

In concept, design and build
It compares with the very best
But through a minor imperfection
It is unlike any other.

And yet this imperfect flower,
Through life’s up and downs
Teaches us more about love,
Strength and courage,
Than a million perfect bouquets.
