Guests


Seated at the dinner table,
was a guest we could not refuse.
She was not invited, but she came to stay.
She ran a wreck in our household.
She called the shots to her fancy.
We were stranded and hands bound.
We open our mouths, nothing but despair came out.
We were hostages taken in our own house.
At the dinner table, we set one extra setting.
She sat at the head of the table, and lead dinner.
A chaotic mess, each time.
But Faith, came as a centerpiece.
Soon, came a calmness, that lingered.
Then came Hope and empowerment.
Now we await Peace to enter our home.
Peace that will stay in our hearts,
Alongside Autism.
