from the ABC set Just stories

Little boy in the wind
Unreachable when I finally find
Words, fragments, doubts, sentences
Don't seem to get through to your senses
Close and still so far away
Feelings, words and a soft touch
Help me not to expect too much

Little boy in the wind
I will keep looking
until I finally find
you, autistic boy
My sweet autistic child.

In Original language (Dutch)

Kleine jongen in de wind
onbereikbaar als ik je eindelijk vind
Woorden, flarden twijfels, zinnen
lijken bij jou niet door te dringen.
Dichtbij en toch zo ver weg
Gevoelens, woorden en gedachten
Help me niet te veel te verwachten

Kleine jongen in de wind
ik zoek toch net zo lang
tot ik je vind
jou autistische jongen
mijn lieve autistische kind

Just to make things clear
I did not write this, it was given to me by a woman who took care for my son for a year, when she left to another job.
It moved me to tears.
I tried to translate into English.

I felt I had to share this with you.
