    Poem Commentary

    This poem is written and dedicated to my son Theo who has Autism. Times have been rough these past few weeks. But I still love him and together will we make it through.

    Locked
    No way to release
    the nightmares or memories of his mind
    No body to hear that deep silent sigh
    Locks that may never open
    Rusted closed for sometime
    Key lost forever that someone may never 
    find.

    Actions are his words
    Tears his emotion shared
    Everything tumbling and jumbling
    inside.
    He makes his way to bed.

    Toys put away.
    Lights low
    He lays curled in a ball
    Doesn't even notice her soft
    footsteps outside in the hall.
    Sleep finally enters
    And she kisses his sweet head
    Sleep and her love are his only 
    friends.

    She prayers in a whisper
    to God's ear she sends
    Lord please let my little
    boy free from being locked within.
