The World of Autism
Luke
He likes to play
With his shadow
He is fascinated
With the movement
Of his fingers
He will play with water
for hours on end
He is a free spirit
He smiles and laughs
And runs and plays
He is happy with things
That we don't even think of
He loves to touch
And smell and taste
He enjoys life
Not worried about
What others might think
He is a gentle soul
He will always be a child
And others might find him strange
But to me he is
The little boy I love
The ultimate free spirit
My son with autism.

Luke
To see you smile
Good looking dark haired boy
lost in a world all your own
I watch you and wish
that just for a moment
I could know your thoughts,
just once understand
the world as you see it.
But I can't, this I know
so for now I'll take
the good times and the bad.
Cause to hold you close
and have you smile
and look in my eyes
and see your happiness-
outweighs all the bad
we go through.
