He walks through the classroom door
a child so beautiful and pure
my heart melts as he says "hello"
he couldn't say it so long ago
Words so hard to communicate
although he is now nearly eight
he tries so hard to understand
about the world thats at his hand
He is such a wonderful gift
one who never fails to uplift
he teaches me so very much
no part of life he doesn't touch
He does not lie or show pretence
his world does seem to make some sense
I think of life he knows the trick
although he may be autistic

They should have had such a good teacher- who understood.
