I
Am Felipe
by Maria (Felipe's Mother)
Doctors say
I am autistic
I wonder what that means
I always tell my brain to help me
but it doesn't listen to me.
I laugh and
cry when I am excited
talk a lot all day
ask mommy and daddy million questions
hoping I can learn.
I love to play
with Jonah
but I am not always soft
it is hard to stay quiet
when there is so much going on.
Kids hit me
and throw stones at me,
daddy can't see they are just playing
he thinks they are hurting me.
I want to go
to Heaven I told my mommy today,
I am tired my brain not helping
and getting in trouble every day.
Mommy says Jesus
love me
I am not sure anymore
I always pray to him to help me
but still not.
Can Jesus heal
Felipe? I asked mommy the other day,
didn't he heal many people, why can't he come to me?
I want to be
like other kids,
have friends and go to school too
I want people to accept me
and hug me and love me too.
