I wrote this poem when I was picking up my son from school. At that time, Seth was in the second grade. All of these thoughts and feelings that I had bottled up came flowing out on the empty piece of paper. I hope these words help anyone who is struggling with being different. We all face adversity of some type or another. Each time I share this poem with individuals, caregivers or healthcare professionals, I receive the same reaction. Their eyes are filled with tears.
My hope is that you are able to see a glimpse of my healing journey. It was not an easy journey. However, with faith and support I was able to move forward. Please feel free to share this poem with anyone who needs to hear that they are loved unconditionally.
