I Am Going On A Journey
I am going on a journey,
Won’t you come along?
I need someone to help me.
A person big and strong.
I’m walking on my journey
But my feet are very small.
Can you stand beside me,
And catch me if I fall?
At times when I can’t keep up
With life and all its fears,
Can you put me on your shoulders
And wipe away the tears?
When the steps I take are not big enough
And it’s hard for me to grow
I know I can depend on you
To let me take it slow.
I’m going on a journey,
Please, won’t you walk with me?
I need someone who understands
The place where I should be.
I love someone with Autism!
~ Dedicated to my niece~
