A sad Poem

Sorry, ooh I am so Sorry, Sorry again and again,
I try to be quick really I do, to try and grab my son before he pulls hair, hits, kicks bites,
I sometimes am and I still admonish him for it,
Sometimes i'm not so lucky and he hurts someone, and of course I am sorry for the poor unfortunate ussually child but sometimes adult in the firing line,
I give him some stern words and angry face,
He laughs,
I continue with my firm stance on no hitting,
People watch me do this maybe they see a parent who disaplines their child,
good they say sort him out,
I cry inside as we both walk away,
Ive said sorry,
Why have I said sorry??
Not for the person he hurt,
But I have said sorry because my son has a disability,
Sorry my child is brain damaged,
Sorry he struggles to understand,
Sorry for bringing him out,
Im sorry my childs not normal!

I found this extremely touching. I do hope you don't mind, but I have copied it for a few friends and could so well have done with this tonight as I went to a charity function and had to stand up and talk to a number of people about Children With Special Needs.

Dawn, this really sums things up.

You've inspired me to have a go at writing my own. I'll post it when I've done! CZY
If you stay ready, you won't need to get ready!
