A Beautiful Autism Poem by Thena

I saw Thena post this on Two Peas today and had to read it. It's a beautiful poem about Autism and just brought tears to my eyes. I'm posting here so that I will be able to reference it to, but wanted to share with all of you. Leave a post on Thena's blog if you have a chance!

For Those in Pain

Just a little note to say
God sent me to you today
With a loving little note
And also a hug or two
To let you know that He is here
And how much He loves you.
He knows your heart is hurting
For He sees inside
He knows the sleepness nights you've had
And about the tears you've cried.
We do not understand the "why"
And wonder at the "how come"
As we look at the miracle
Of your precious little one.
Wrap this little one in love
And treasure them each day
For they are a treasure
That God has sent your way.
There will be times of trial
When you wonder what you should do
But know that at the end of the day
God will have seen you through.
Rejoice in each milestone reached
By the little one in your care
And know that those who love you
This excitement of yours will share.
For each moment of realization,
Each completed and learned task
And each precious word spoken
Brings rejoicing to a mother's loving heart
That is hurting but not broken.

Isn't that awesome! I couldn't help but cry!!

On another note, we had a great time last night. This new resturant opened up and it's a fondue place - it was soooo good! Cheese and salad and dessert - toblerone - oh my gosh! We were in heaven! It was all so good - we'll definetly go back. It was fun to do something a little different. Then, the movie, Firewall, and it was so good! Not a dull moment - always suspenseful! Just my opinion but we both really liked it! If you see it, let me know what you thought too!

Tonight, our ward is doing a Valentine's dinner and 'other stuff' (my hubby says I can't know about it....hmmmmmmm) so we are going to that. I'm really tired - been cleaning all day and made 3 huge batches of Strawberry Jam too! Wowsers - I just want to crash. My hubby just took the kids to the park for a bit (isn't he the best), so I may go lay down for a bit.

Hope you all have a great night!
Hugs!

Bina,

That poem was so neat! I had to comment on it, it brought tears to my eyes, too. Last night Dave and I saw a story on ESPN of a teenage boy who had exactly high functioning autism and it was the neatest story ever! We rewound it and recorded it to show you as soon as we see you, we both cried. It was just so neat to see how everyone in the high school cheered around this boy. Ah, you will love it. Again, that is a beautiful poem.

I still can't get over how beautiful your work is, everytime I see a page you've done I study it for ever! You are so amazingly talented! thanks for posting my site on here, you are so sweet. I am updating a new baby section hopefully in about a week...pics that I have done since I got my new studio, so you will have to check that out.

Dave and I saw Firewall and i really liked it but he thought it was so-so...I don't know why!

So sorry we didn't come down last weekend, he couldn't get Fri. or Mon. off. I was pretty bummed and hope we can plan something else soon. Cute of you to post about Ella. love you, bye!

Thena is a treasure herself! I missed that, thanks for sharing...I'll share it with my sister-in-law. I'm wanting to see Firewall...sounds like a great escape.

Robyn - thank you for posting Thena's poem....I missed it in The Pub. I just did a layout about my Madison's autism and this would perfect to add. Have a great night and thanks for the CHA previews...I can't wait to get my hands on the Basic Grey.

we saw firewall on saturday night and loved it. i agree, never a dull moment. i was surprised to hear today that pink panther was the #1 movie this weekend. i hope you were able to rest a little.
