Sweet Child of Mine (a tribute to my Mom's perseverance for embracing my little brother who has autism)
Location
This sweet child of mine
The joys, the tears, the time
Words can not define
This sweet child of mine
Every milestone he completes
Can often follow with some defeat
Yet he tries in spite of fate
He is not capable of having hate
Some days are good and others bad
Yet he knows not, how to be sad
His world is special and he loves to share
but, often at times others don't care
To have a friend, one true friend would be great,
Only to realize he can't relate
This sweet child of mine
his heart is big
and his smile true
I thank the angels for giving me you
He has taught me much
and has showed me love
His presence is clearly from above
No he is not like any other sister or brother
I am learning what it is to be a mother
My heart is full and heavy too
I thank each day I have with you
This sweet child of mine
