Cassie posted a song, so I thought I'd post one, also. I wrote this years ago. Kids were recovering back then, too. Now, many of us know many more children who have recovered, and the general mood in much of the autism community is much brighter and full of empowerment.

For mothers of children diagnosed with autism everywhere, if you are feeling like you are on a rollercoaster, and, weary at the end of a day of therapies, you are looking at your child's beautiful face with love and hope, your heart sad for his or her daily struggles, this is for you.

All I Can Do Is Try for You

I'm weary of believing in miracles
I do not see the tunnel getting light
All I can do is try for you, my darling
As we journey from this sadness in your life

We try to climb the mountain up to sunshine
We try to stay afloat above the rain
You and I will hold our hands together
As we pull each other up above the pain

All I can do is try for you, my darling
And pray the mountain moves into the sea
And calms the waves that toss your days, my darling
And brings the rainbow that brings you to me

One day we'll see a rainbow all around you
'Til then we just keep rowing forth the boat
All I can do is try for you, my darling
And give you rays of sunshine and of hope

'Til then you know I love you every moment
And I know that you also love me, too
And with each breath I'll try for you, my darling
And pray for Light and Love to bring you through.
