Tears In My Eyes

Tears In My Eyes

by Melissa

Tears in my eyes,
Pain in my heart.
Wondering if this darkness,
Will ever part.

My eyes swollen and tender,
You see.
Wondering why it's happening,
To my baby.

I can't sleep Mom,
Too much fear.
Won't you please lay down,
And stay here?

I want to play Mom,
But I'm too shy.
Will you please go and ask,
If I can try?

Close the door Mom,
Lock it tight.
I am afraid,
Even though it's daylight.

I did not mean to hit him Mom,
It was not to be mean.
I just wanted to play,
And I am sorry to scream.

I am so excited Daddy,
When I see you get home.
I can not help but to jump,
And use a loud tone.

I don't like that shirt Mom,
It itches you know.
Why do you make me wear it?
I already told you so!

I love those hot chips,
They are delicious to me.
Water no way,
I'm no sissy.

His grandfather said...

"He's a brat,
A real trouble maker.
He is not 'sick',
He is just a faker.

You are not stern,
That is the dilemma.
You will not learn,
Withouta spanking hima!"

I came to bed in tears today... so much fear, worry, sadness and hurt... how do we test our children when insurance will not cover it and the testing is near $1,000? I will do anything for my little ones, do how do we get started??!

Wow

Well, this brought tears to my eyes because this sounds just exactly like my son Kaden 3 years old.

He has sensory processing disorder.

You're not alone
by: lisa

Please believe me when I say you're not alone. Even a trip to our local supermarket is a struggle. But they are our child... who cares what they think. We know when the act up it's not always their fault, they can't help it.

Being in England and having no one to talk to or evan knowing another child like my lad is lonely. But, be strong; that kiss in the morning and that smile will keep you strong!

Reading with Tears......
by: Tara

I stand here wiping tears from my eyes as I read this poem, I feel comforted that other parents experience these same emotions. My 5 year old daughter is in the process of Pediatric Screening for what I think may be SPD. I am a Nurse, and have been challenged with so many emotions with attempting to pin point what is wrong with my baby girl. Up until this year, I never realized that there was much of a problem, until the school system began to inform me on a daily basis of specific issues. I am in hopes that through the Pediatric Screening, some answers will be revealed.
This poem really touched home......Thanks Melissa

I Love This One
by: Anonymous

OMG, I can't stop crying. This makes me think of my 4 year old son (Xanthan Lestat). I want to put it on myspace, so people can understand what going on with him. I guess I'll write it all down cause it won't let me copy it. Thank you soooo much for writing this.

Michele Mitchell comments...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Also, I am surprised you can't copy it. If you highlight the whole thing, then right click and choose copy it should work. It does for me. If you post it, just make sure you give credit to the author and to this site, ok? It IS a great poem, isn't it? Many thanks to Melissa, the author!

Take A Look At...
by: Krista

A terrific poem... everyone should read it whether they have SPD, a child with SPD, or none of the above. I do remember one of the links that had been previously listed (not too long ago) had different codes for O.T.'s to use for insurance purposes since SPD is not yet covered by all. Take a look through some of the SPD sites or just simply use the "contact us" link. I really hope you are able to find a solution soon. It is very hard just starting treatment so late in life. Be grateful you still have a "child" and not a 46 year old adult who had to live without treatment until now. May God wipe away your tears with successful door openings!
