Hope inexpressible, Love unconditional (An Autism Poem)

Disability and Faith

The doctor enters the room with tissues
Parents listening, ignorant of the issues
Hope inexpressible
Love unconditionale

Will the child ever go to bed?
Sounds in the night, filling with dread
Hope inexpressible
Love unconditional

Waiting for words, even one or two
Longing desperately to hear, “I love you”
Hope inexpressible
Love unconditional

As time and time relentless flows
Gaps with peers onward grows
Hope inexpressible
Love unconditional

The child leaves our home too soon
Is this disorder our family’s doom?
Hope inexpressible
Love unconditional

Where is God in this chaotic mess?
Countless examples of grace in excess
Hope inexpressible
Love unconditional

Coming to terms with different brains
God’s masterpieces come in different frames
Hope inexpressible
Love unconditional
