I May Be A Little Different!

Mom, I would hold your hand

But then I have to get ready for the world

To face it in any way,

Trust me, Mom, on each step

I will learn gradually as I need

To find my own way.

Like my peers, I may not be talented

My progress may be slow

My achievements may not be there,

But your care, Almighty and my efforts

Very soon you will see

I may not require that extra care.

When I look in your eyes

I see fear and anxiety and uncertainty,

But with your care and guidance

I am sure I will overcome

My abnormality.

Mom, I am forlorn and my heart cries

Also, I feel isolated and at times

Disturbed too,

But I try to sharpen my memory

With those gadgets, you bought for me,

To better to do.

Sometimes you face the situations

Very hard, seeing me struggling with

The obstacles in my way,

But have faith, your love, sincerity, care

From my life will roll

The dark clouds away.

God is there and so is His kingdom,

He has sent you to replace

Him in my life,

This anguish, anxiety, He will cut

With His divine knife.

You don’t lose courage

Don’t worry about my future,

I will gain beyond measures

With your love, intense care

And the ways you nurture.

Mom, let us fight 

The odds of my destiny

As I am not special,

My needs are a little different

For sure we will overcome

My hidden disability

and cut this time, crucial.

I may be unique or a little different

Or like that of a special one,

Have faith in me, give me some space and time

I will change for sure and

You will be delighted then.
