Add Pray To Your Day!
By Sue Bradford Edwards
Not Perfect, But Not Broken
For so long I’ve known something is wrong.
No eye contact.
No happy babbling.
Now the doctor has put a name to my fear.
My darling, beautiful child has autism.
When I have cried myself out,
help me see the gift you have given me—
a child in Your image,
a child of Your heart,
not perfect, but not broken,
not with the future I had planned,
but with a future nonetheless.
A future where we are both secure
in Your loving abundant presence.
No eye contact.
No happy babbling.
Now the doctor has put a name to my fear.
My darling, beautiful child has autism.
When I have cried myself out,
help me see the gift you have given me—
a child in Your image,
a child of Your heart,
not perfect, but not broken,
not with the future I had planned,
but with a future nonetheless.
A future where we are both secure
in Your loving abundant presence.
