Hi Sue...a heart rendering and lovely prayer. I am sure God is helping you along this path and He will not abandon you. We never know why we are being tested and sometimes are prayers are not answered in the way we hoped they would be. He gives us what we need which sometimes is not what we want. I also pray the He will hold you and your daughter in the palm of His hand....blessings....chey

I thought this was absolutely beautiful and I'm not a crier, but this brought a tear to my eye. Bless you for looking at Autism in such a poignant and positive way. Good job, carry on and God bless,

Juleeann, sorry I have not gotten back sooner. After writing this, I have to say it took a couple of days for me to get back here. I most certainly appreciate your heart-felt reading of my prayer. Thank you very much for your very kind review and lovely words. With warmest regards, Sue
Comment from Algernon
He always hears our prayers.
With God, everything is possible. With Science, He often uses it as His tool.
A heart tugging poem, showing a real mothers love.
It oft' surprises me that when we feel we have lost the way.
He shows us the way. Even if we miss a few burning bushes or big fish.
I offer up my prayers, too.....xx

Comment from Gramma Kathy
This is beautiful, so tender and loving it brings tears to my eyes.
Your daughter is blessed to have such a faithful, loving mother.
This really spoke to me:
"Now, in your hands I trust
For no one else can place
Her future in the light
I ask for all your grace"
It isn't just autism that brings us to the point of surrender. Any trial can push us toward God if we allow it to do that. You have done well, both in poetry and life, and this poem is proof.

Gramma Kathy, sorry for the late response. I wrote this while having quite a burden and it has taken me a couple of days to get back here. Thank you so much for this most kind review and all of your lovely and warm words. With warmest regards, Sue
Comment from Judian James
Well done, beautifully said and an honest plea for loving help through your prayers. One little thing I'd consider for a better flow, although what you have is the right syllable count as is: "So, this is my one prayer" just consider perhaps: " So, this my only prayer" or "This is my only prayer" Just a thought. Excellent Sue and I'm so sorry. How old is she, if I may ask?

Jude, your suggestion is perfect. "So, this my only prayer" is much smoother and "felt" more. Thank you for that! I am more than amazed at what poetry has done for me. I never had an outlet for my deepest emotions and have found it to be a miracle at this time in my life. Not only my writing it, but the gift to be able to be here at fanstory and appreciate all the beautiful words and depths from others. Thank you for all your encouragement. Has meant so much. (My daughter is 21). And thank you for your review and suggestion which certainly does improve this work. With regards, Sue

My pleasure.
Comment from NadineM
Sue,
I enjoyed your poem. The love for your daughter shines through and the pains of raising a child with so many needs is shadowed. This pain is great, however, and God hears your emotional pleas.
Good rhyming and lovely message of love and faith.
Thanks for sharing this with me.

I appreciate how you've shared the challenges you face and the plea to God for help. I have a disabled adult son and your poem speaks to my heart as being very true. This is well-written, flows very nicely, and my heart and prayers go out to you both. Karen

nana_k, sorry I have not responded sooner. Took a couple of days away. Thank you so much for your most kind review and lovely, heart-felt words. With warmest regards, Sue
Comment from kristin_mast
I read your poem and said your prayer right along with you. Your poem about your daughter (or anyone's child with special needs) had melodic rhyme and a good rhythm. Although I have no grown children, I also have a child with special needs and your poem touched on my fears of the future. Once again, great job!

THis is very touching and the artwork augments the impact of this heart-rending-thoughing healing prayer written with sincerity, simplicity and well rhymed and timed lines.
I find no nits and offer prayers for your daughter and you too.
:)
Warm Regards,
