poem on my autistic son

My very first poem i wrote on my son who is autistic

My Beautiful Child

He opened his eyes and looked straight into my soul...
a bundle of joy! he made my world whole..
so vulnerable and fragile, can't speak...
but communicates a thousand word with his beautiful smile...

Laughing and crying, living in his own world,
will he learn to play, ride or speak?
Oh! sometimes everything looks so bleak,
but then I just have to look into his eyes..
and my belief in miracle arise...

my heart is filled with strange emotions
switching between hope and despair
but I know God is just and fair..
I know it is an uphill task,
but devine help is just there if I ask..

Life is like a jungle, mystic and wild
but what will take me through it is
my beautiful child..my beautiful child
