My dear, you are allusive, exuding the confidence I could never know.
Floating, decisions never swayed by the status quo.
I have never met someone that understands their inner needs as much as you.
Spoken softly, with stern determination is the path you choose.
You're something untouchable, a flame I can't hold.
All I can do is witness your shine, shimmer magic.
You break the mold.
From you I learn to settle for nothing less,
than my inner heart's true happiness.
You stay the silent strong type, but I know you need,
someone who will protect the fiber of your being, the seed.
Though you stay silent I'll speak loud and clear,
You're more than I'll ever know,
You're perfect my dear.
This poem is about Autistic children, dedicated to my best friend's brother Daniel. I've known Daniel for more than 10 years and as a child with severe Autism, he has never once compromised his needs, never compared himself to others and has never let others decide what is best for him. He's a one man army with purpose :) Amazing child with unknown and thus unlimited talents.
