Autism in Bloom
It is painful
To watch you struggle, but
To see you dream
Is more rewarding
Than I could have imagined
Back when we were
Just trying to get through the day
Now
Our challenges have changed
But our triumphs are just as sweet
You are a rare but tenacious plant
Striving to bloom, to thrive
In difficult conditions
Your needs are different
Than those of other plants
But so are your dreams
