YOU DON’T HAVE TO CRY

         You don’t have to cry

            Yet your tears fall down

                Like a waterfall after the rain

        You don’t have to cry

                We’ll love you forever and take care of your needs

                AUTISM – A GARDEN OF WEEDS

        You don’t have to cry

                It causes me pain

                I try so hard

                AUTISM – AN ENDLESS DRAIN

        You don’t have to cry

                Mommy’s not leaving – just turning a corner

        You don’t have to cry

                Daddy and I understand you – without a word

                A silent look can tell

                One Hug – One Touch

                AUTISM – WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH

        You don’t have to cry

                I’ll cry for us all

                The children, parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents too                                           the

ones who will never hear your voice

                I’ll cry for you, so you can smile

                        I’ll fight for you, so you can grow

                        In a world you’ll find hard to know

        You don’t have to cry

                I love you

                 For eternity

                                Mommy

            TREVOR’S REQUEST

         Take me for a Ride

                I love your Red Rocket

                        And the places it takes us

                        I’m so happy when I ride

                It’s calming

                        In the Durango

                It’s relaxing

                        Wherever we go..

                Take me for a Ride

                        I can’t sleep

                        I need to glide

                        In your Red Rocket

                The ocean roars against the shore a dawn

                The sun sets slowly over the horizon at dusk

                Take me for a Ride

                        So I can watch the trucks

                                Cruise on by

                        The Harley’s engines rumble

                                They make me sigh

                Take me for a Ride

                        It’s my way to just be me

                        Trevor Joe Wood

                        Just a boy, smiling with glee

                                ‘cuz I’m free

                                        When you

                                                Take me for a Ride
