No more
She quietly whispers
No more endless net searches
No more reading research
No more
She gives a wry smile
No more stress about food
No more worry about muscle tone
No more
She whispers respectfully
No more music therapy
No more O.T.
No more
She is over it
No more listening to bullshit
No more liaising with drama
No more
She recalls lack of time
No more people in and out
No more therapy day after day
No more
She is sneakily sceptical
Of snake oil and such
Promise of cures, of this and of that
No more
She thoughtfully ponders
No more public speaking
No conferences to attend
No more
She sighs
No more avoidance
No more head in the sand
It is what it is
She draws in a deep breath
A mother with a difference
With Autism in her life
It is what it is
She swallows a lump
A mother who is like no other
With restrictions and an invisible cord
It is what it is
She blinks furiously
A mother entrenched in disability
With end of life worries
It is what it is
She looks with adoration
A mother who loves beyond measure
With a different life perspective
Bring it on
She yells out
No more dwelling on 'what if'
Time to shift the balance
Bring it on
She bangs the table
No more with the woes
Time to refocus
Bring it on
She grins
No more all about him
Time to tilt those scales
Bring it on
She smirks
No more with the pandering
Time for challenge and growth
Bring it on
She lifts her shoulders
No more being the mum who can
Time for the girl who was
Bring it on
She straightens her back
No more worrying of what might be
Time for positivity and a glass half full
Bring it on
She says with confidence
No more stuffing around
Time to move forward
Bring it on
She is adamant
Time is about today and tomorrow
Bring it on
One life, live it
