Little Boy
My Autistic Grandson
Do you know?
Does your mind comprehend?
I know you understand things in different ways
Do you know
You are not alone ?
I see your beautiful smile
Do you know
It lights up my heart
And so many others ?
I see you struggle
Sometimes, you figure things out
Sometimes, it takes time
Sometimes, it takes help
I see your boundless energy
Do you know
I hear your vocalizing
When words fail
Or anger or excitement overwhelms ?
Do you know
That you are a challenge ?
Do you know that
You’re worth every minute of every challenging day ?
Do you know how much
You
Are
Loved ?
