I wish that I could feel this way everyday...I wrote this after spending the entire day with my kids, which is not unusual, but I spent it just taking it all in, enjoying them !
If it all were different
If it all were different would I enjoy the rain?
Would it sound so gentle,
or just pass down the pane?
If it all were different would I notice the breeze,
that just passed right by me
and now dances with leaves?
If it all were different would I hear a bird sing?
Would I walk right past
and not notice a thing?
If it all were different would your words pass by my ears?
When you sing me a song
would it bring me to tears?
If it all were different I'd still love you no doubt.
But thank you for showing me
what life's really about !

I can't stop reading your poem. I just love it. tears come to my eyes each time. I just sent your link to an autism group I am on locally... it actually speaks quite well to that group as well because many autistic kids are non-verbal..and the smallest utterance can bring tears.
