Autism Smiles

By Anna Krause

 Autism cries and Autism smiles
The Autism journey will go on for miles
It will take you to brand new places
And you'll meet many new faces

Autism laughs and Autism weeps
It's not going away, it's here for keeps
It will show you a brand new strength...
You'll protect your child at any length

Autism teaches and Autism grows
It will take you to highs and bring you to lows
The road will be tiring and it will be long
But Autism will show you how to be strong

Autism guides and Autism steers
There will be pain and there will be tears
But after the rain, there will be sun
And you'll realise your journey has just begun

Autism scares and Autism frights
It will give you endless sleepless nights
But you will somehow find a way
To see something good in every day

Autism strengthens and Autism shows
It will make you smile and bring you woes
But through the dark times you will see
That Autism is the start of a new journey
