Different

By babblerem Aug 10, 2015

This simple yet poignant poem was written by Barbara MacArthur.

“Years ago when the doctors told me my son was profoundly autistic they looked so solemn, but the following reaction popped into my mind”

Different

They told me you were Different – autistic
I told them I was optimistic
How could they know
I love you so
Because you are – Different?

Written by: Barbara MacArthur
