    a boon to deafness and that is gods greatness

    autism a boon or bane

    dear child
    oh my dear child
    what is the sin I have done
    what is the sin you have done
    because
    you are born without able to hear the sweetness
    of the chirping birds
    or humming of the bees
    and the swirling sound of the rivers
    and
    the sweet voice of your mother thats me
    I cry aloud to God:
    saying Oh god what is the sin I did that
    you are punishing my child
    what is the sine he did to you.
    Is it that we did not remember you during our sleep
    or it is due to inadvertance forgot to praise during our dreams
    but it is not fair on you my God
    to punish my dear child
    who is innocent as the tree
    and kind hearted as the sky
    which shovers the rains and provides shelter.
    Oh dear : Oh dear
    I pray you my almighty
    to hear our vows and
    make everyone to raise their eye brows
    by granting me a boon that you will
    shower your kindness on my child and cure him from
    his deafness
    and show the world about your selflessness

    A flood of emotions flow through this poem and the reader can't help but feel your pain and frustration. Me being a mother of an Autistic child knows what that frustration feels like. I will say that I God has allowed me to look at in a whole different way. I see the lives that my child has touched in such a way that ordinarily would not have been had he been any other way. I embrace the Autism, learn all that I can about it and try to help others along the way. It has shown me a whole new world that only and Autistic child knows; some of it much like our own and not so beautiful at times.I wouldn't change a thing in my child; he a beautiful gift of God that paints the world a different color and leaves a lasting impact on those around him.

    I love my this poem my child has a learning delay. I trying to find out what exactly but this poem is simply beautiful to me. Poetry is a release of emotions that what I think whether it is happy or sad. I often let go when I write and I hope you do too. Hugs Iliketoflyaway

    I am very moved by this poem. The wrenching anguish of the parent, the bewildering why, how has this happened, and the imploring to God to "show the world about your selflessness."

    I thought I'd already left a comment but it doesn't show! It said I could leave another... :? Anyway, I also have a little boy with Autism. He doesn't speak well, and didn't potty train until 6 years old. He doesn't even know how to tell someone his own name or who I am to him, but I know that he loves me. I have faith that he will improve over time, as his condition could be much worse. Luckily he is not deaf as well as unable to talk well. This poem doesn't hurt my feelings at all I completely understand the emotion behind it. Very well written.

    thanks for understanding my comment. It was just a poetry to show the feelings which one might have experienced due to that situation and with all my heart I hope to see the child become normal.

    My son has autism, its a complexed disorder with so many levels of functioning, as a parent we are so helpless to their needs,we can only cater to their disability and pray they can feel our love n frustration. Its so hard...this piece made me cry sobbingly beautiful just remarkable insight! I'm on twitter @DragonPoetikFly

    actually i had never heard about autism till i saw it in y our profile and I was under the impression that it is connected with audibleness i.e hearing problem. for your childs sake I wrote this lines without knowing the true meaning after your reply i went through a friends profile and found that her child was suffering from autism later I came to know that it is connected to complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Both children and adults with autism typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. Sorry if the poetry hurts your feelings.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
