Special Children, Special Dads!

To be the parent of a special needs child is no easy task. They deal with stresses and complications that most of us will never face. This is for all the dads out there who, no matter what, make sure that their special child has an amazing life! God bless you for all that you do!

Dear Daddy

I need for you to know some things
About the life we share,
My special needs are always met
Because of how you care!

I know how very hard you work
To make my life just right,
And everything you do for me
Will make my future bright!

Some days you must be overwhelmed
By bills and doctor stuff,
And since I came into your life
At times, things can be tough!

A lot of men would not step up
And do all that you do,
So this is why I have to say
“Oh daddy, I love you!”

I’m not the kid you dreamed about
When mom told you I’d be,
But now you know how blessed you are
God gave you special me!

You see, He only picks the best
To help Him here on earth,
And He chose you to be my dad
Because you’d know my worth!

It’s true that I have special needs
That might get in my way,
I worry not, because I know
You’ll clear my path each day!

So daddy I want you to know
You are my shining star,
I’ll be all that I dream to be
Because of who you are!

Special Children!

by Amy Comstock, posted in ASPERGERS, AUTISM, DOWNS SYNDROME, POETRY, SPECIAL NEEDS, WHEELCHAIR

Children with disabilities are a special gift. They have a love to share like no other! If we are open with our minds and our hearts, we can learn so much from them. God always knows what He is doing. We just have to remember that!

My Blessing

The first time I saw your blue eyes
I said a prayer of hope,
With all your disabilities
I needed strength to cope!

I asked God why you were this way
So different from the rest,
I just can’t figure out why me
Is this some kind of test?

But then they put you in my arms
I held you to my heart,
At once I knew I was complete
You were my missing part!

God sent me you to fill my life
With love I never knew,
This endless love would now be mine
Because of special you!

Oh yes, our struggles will be great
We’ll shed so many tears,
But crying sometimes helps our souls
To cleanse away our fears!

I know we’ll get through all of this
And help the world to see,
The dis does not apply to you
Your pure ability!

So now I’ll say a second prayer
To thank Him for your birth,
I’m humbled He chose me to share
His Angel here on earth!

Do Not Judge By What You See!

by Amy Comstock, posted in ANTI-BULLYING, BULLYING, POETRY, SPECIAL NEEDS, WHEELCHAIR

It is so easy to judge someone by what we see. It is also so wrong to do this. If you want to know what someone is about, and who they really are, take the time to get to know them. Every book is deeper than its cover! We just need to take the time to read!

Step Aside!

So what if I am in a chair
Does that make me a freak?
I’m just the same as all of you
It’s happiness I seek!

Do you think that I’m less than you
Because I cannot walk?
Don’t judge me by what your eyes see
Let’s sit and have a talk!

When you see me, do you feel sad
And want to show me pity?
Please do not judge me, I am great
I’m smart and kind and witty!

Can you not look me in the eye
Because I cause you fear?
Get over it and realize this
It’s hate from you I hear!

Why do you want to stare at me
And make me feel so odd?
You should remember this one thing
We both came from our God!

He chose to make me who I am
And I am proud of me,
This chair will not get in the way
Of all I plan to be!

So if you can’t get past my chair
I’ll tell you what to do,
Please step aside, I’m moving on
I’m rolling right past you!

Everyone’s “Me” Is Unique!

by Amy Comstock, posted in ASPERGERS, AUTISM, DOWNS SYNDROME, LIFE, POETRY, SELF-ACCEPTANCE, SPECIAL NEEDS, WHEELCHAIR

We are all different from one another…and that is a good thing. We can learn so much from our differences! If someone’s uniqueness jumps out at you, try not to judge. If you waste time judging, you might miss something really extraordinary! Remember, every me was created by Him!

My Me!

I am a very different kid
With very different views,
You’ll love the me you’ll get to know
Just try to learn my cues!

I see things in a different way
A way that you can’t see,
But if you dare to come along
I’ll share with you my me!

My world is very interesting
My me is very bright,
At times you’ll think I’m acting wrong
But trust me, I am right!

I think God gave me special stuff
That I’m supposed to share,
Could it be that you’ll learn from me
Cause my me’s more aware?

From these few words I hope you get
To hear my inner plea,
My rainbow world is full of love
I thank God for my me!

God’s Plan!

by Amy Comstock, posted in ASPERGERS, AUTISM, DOWNS SYNDROME, FAITH & BELIEF, LIFE, POETRY, SPECIAL NEEDS

Every time a baby is born, it is a blessing from Him! When there is a special birth, one that is different from the norm, people tend to think that something is wrong! Well, maybe those people are the ones who are wrong. A special birth may just mean that something is right! God has a plan, and He knows what He is doing!

Something’s Right!

They say that something’s wrong with you
But we don’t think it’s true,
We think God has a special plan
Saved only for a few.

To them you do not seem the same
As all the other’s born,
They look so sad and talk to us
As if we should just mourn.

We do not understand their view
We guess they just don’t see,
That you’re the one we’ve waited for
To fill our destiny.

To them you’re not the perfect one
You’re different from the rest,
But we love you with all our heart
To us, you are the best.

Your struggles will be difficult
Together, we’ll get through,
It does not matter what they think
The fact is we love you.

You are a special Gift From God
He Blessed us with your light,
They may think something’s wrong with you
But we know something’s right!

What Makes Us Different, Makes Us Special!

by Amy Comstock, posted in ASPERGERS, AUTISM, POETRY

Rainbows bring beauty and magic to our skies. Rainbow Souls bring beauty and magic to our lives!

My Rainbow Soul

When I was born I came to earth
With rainbows in my soul,
I’m here to teach and show the world
That love should be our goal!

Don’t pity me for all my needs
That’s not what I’m about,
I’m cool and full of awesomeness
Quite special, have no doubt!

I am not like your average kid
But that’s okay with me,
Because I have a rainbow soul
There’s so much more I see!

My world is full of many things
That you will never know,
My heart is full of extra love
So much, I over flow!

It’s true at times I might meltdown
And make folks want to hide,
But those who know me understand
And love my rainbow side!

God made me different, this I know
He needed special me,
He picked me out to help Him show
There’s so much more to see!

I really like the me I am
My folks think I’m a star,
I won’t judge you so don’t judge me
Let’s love the way we are!

I’m glad I’m not an average kid
I love my rainbow view,
My heart and soul are full of love
Come see, I’ll share with you!

When I was born I came to earth
With one important goal,
To teach the world how great it is
To have a rainbow soul!
