Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Below is a poem, I wrote last year for my husband for Fathers Day. In all the Dr appt, supplements, diet, bills and everyday struggles we moms have, dad sometimes gets over looked and left out. My son is very blessed to have a awsome daddy who is very supportive in all we do to recover him from autism. I hope you will pass it on to your hubbys, and for any men on here, Happy Fathers Day, YOU ROCK! To My Daddy When a child is born into this world A Daddy is born, full of hopes and dreams Daddy has a special way of enjoying the moments While the Mommy is trying to calm the screams. As the child he loves so starts to grows Daddy is confident he has the best laid plans Of all the adventures they’ll conquer together But then its seems he’s slipping right though Daddy’s hands Mommy says “there something not quite right†And “I just don’t know what to do†Daddy is sure there is nothing wrong More love and attention will see them through Then as bad as Daddy hates to admit it He realizes that “something is going wrong†This child he loves so very much Seems to be unreachable, almost gone! The Doctors say a word they do not understand And it seems that there is nothing Daddy can do The Doctors said “Just take him home and love him good†“It happens to many families as it has happened to you†The days are filled with broken dreams, Anger, bitterness, pity, guilt and “whys†But then you shake yourself and say I will not let this break my life. You read, you research, you beg for help Then Mommy and Daddy find a way A way that just might help this child Come back to them someday. Mommy’s job is reading labels and shopping Daddy’s is doing what ever Mommy needs done Like a team they tackle the supplements Little by little Daddy begins to see the rays of the sun. It seems that all the meltdowns are less and less Daddy can see improvements everyday It seems he can start hoping and dreaming again Dreaming of words he longs to hear his child say A few years down the long lonely road And a long, lonely road it’s been Daddy is once again filled with pride As he reads what his child has penned Thank you Daddy for all the love and care For catching me as I ran into the dangerous street For the long hours you played with me all night Because of Autism, I could not sleep Thank you Daddy for loving me When you thought I’d never play a game And for all the times I acted horrible You loved me just the same. Thank you Daddy for helping Mommy When she had so much to do She often cried so hard at night, But you were strong and helped her too. Thank you Daddy for all the times Autism made me act like a silly pup And all the times I repeated movies I know you wanted me to hush up Daddy, I did not want to leave you out When I played with all my toys I did not want to upset you Because I could not be like other boys. Thank you Daddy for all you’ve done For the sacrifices you and mom have made I know the treatments cost a lot But it’s the reason I can write you this today. So as you read this Daddy, please know I am so blessed to be your child Not every kid with Autism has a Dad Who will walk that extra mile You have made a marvelous difference A difference only you could make Happy Fathers Day to My Daddy From the Son, that you wouldn’t let Autism take.
