It's true what they say
Patience honestly pays
For with love and TLC
You have come on leaps and bounds
You found ways to cope
With loud noises and sounds
Life is black or white
For you it is what it is
Academically you are
My super little whizz kid
Socially life is tough
But you have great friends
They have grown up with you
On them you can depend
Your confidence is peaking
I am so incredibly proud
For when you were little
You were frightened in a crowd
Although we were told
High functioning Aspergers
I chose not to take things further
Endless meetings and being referred
For to us and your friends
You truly are a special boy
Intelligent, gentle and sensitive
As my son you are a joy
I didn't want you labelled
There's that Aspergers kid
Having to explain yourself
For things you said or did
You have amazing qualities
It's them that make you
You are wonderful
In all that you do
I know life may be tough
But we are there all the way
You have adapted to situations
Each and every day
I look at us now
I often shed a tear
Remembering my worries
Sleepless nights and fear
I was scared for you
Of what your life would be
But you proved to us all
That you're made of strong stuff see
Just stay you my son
It's the world that's not right
When the light goes out in others
You'll be there shining bright
Dedicated to my wonderful boy, 10 years of joy in my life.
