Hapi Bae Dai

Living with intelligent but autistic loved one.

Hi Daniel!

Soft eyes fixed on me

Then looks away like I was nothing

He walks away to a corner

Looking for something, I wonder

And yes it was nothing.

A day before,

When birds their trees adore

He had been at the window 

A pencil and a paper

What he did with it, I wonder

I went to my room

To touch his dad's picture as usual,

Its been hard but its now a norm,

I took Daniel's records from exam

"He aced all his scores, darling" I whispered

I mixed Daniel's favourite cereals

He was already seated for his meal

I drew a chair and sat next to him

I fed him and will do it over again

For I love him 

Oh, I do!

Then just when I put my back to bed

By the door I heard my son first words

I have been trying to have him talk all day

And he had been silence and busy

"Hapi' bae dai" he said

In his hand was a paper

Of an excellently drawn bird, 

With my name and a pink flower

"Hapi'bae dai" he said and

He gave it to me

I have completely forgotten

Today is my birthday!

I was thinking of him

But he thought of me better

"Hi Daniel, " I cried "thank you my baby!"

"Mom, hi e" He whispered......
