Trinity's Eyes

For my niece with autism

Her intrigue melts in silence
as she gazes up at me
a big surprise
behind those eyes
that only she can see.

She leads me off to nowhere
as she takes me by the hand
a quiet side, where she abides
but doesn't understand

Oh let me in to ponder
and be there when she sighs
As I try to see
the great mystery
behind Trinity's eyes.

Her innocence shines through her
like an angel in disguise
There's love that knows no boundaries
behind Trinity's eyes.

Attention may seem distant
but she's trying to show me how
she craves the warm affection
That I shower on her now.

In her own sense of wisdom
she can dream without the words
and try to share with those who care
a world meant to be hers

A moving, compassionate appraisal of autism. We have to fit into their world, which sometimes can reveal itself as extraordinary talent. If we can tap and encourage that inner world of theirs, some of the greatest achievements in art, music and even science have emerged.
