Because I Know
You are beautiful
You are absolutely beautiful
Can you not see what a beauty you are?
When people hurt you
They do not see you
They do not know you
They do not realize
You are beyond them
A mystery
The unknown
It scares them
They expect things that cannot be
They do not comprehend
And I am sorry
Some won’t ever completely understand
As much as you try
For you are a bright, bright light
And Precious One
Your beauty blinds them
You are a gift
Every life you touch changed for the better
This is already happening
You are an earth-shaker, a mover, and a maker
Nothing about you is ordinary or boring
You are so fabulously unique
Wrapped in the finest paper and richest ribbons—with your perfect heart at the center
You make my being swell with joy
You are not a mistake
Do not believe anyone who tells you this falsehood
They are wrong
Completely wrong
You are exactly perfect
You are closer to an angel
Than anyone I know
You have these magnificent invisible wings
You can fly to places the rest cannot
You have the vision of a prophet
The mind of a wise man
You have the capacity within
To change our universe
You see the world as it is
Without pretense or imaginings
You see people at their core
You understand more than you can say
And say more than you understand
You are a dichotomy
A puzzle
An amazing spirit set down to show the way
There is not one millimeter about you I would change
Ever
Nothing I would alter, take away, or replace
Nothing I would add or improve upon
You were made as you are
Like the stars in the sky
I have no wish to stop you from shining
I know your journey is very hard
There is no doubt about this
And I am sorry for your pains
You, of all people, deserve happiness
I know that you cry
I know that you question
I know you beg to be different
And that breaks my heart
But that’s okay
Let yourself weep
Because I know you are brave
In hard times
Remember that I am here
Still walking
And I need you
I need you here with me
I need you to be you
Without you I am emptied
Remember me
With my invisible wings
And know, though we have never met
I love you
I know how remarkable you are
And there is nothing you can do to change that
Nothing at all
Many members of the blogging community are joining together in supporting people who have Aspergers through a Flash Blog. The hope is that when a person searches online for “I Wish I Didn’t Have Aspergesr” he or she will be led to our bright light of encouragement.
It’s a Wonderful World because YOU are in it!
Very nice thought
AWW SAM
I AM CRYING MY EYES OUT

I went back and reread myself and cried with you!
A flash blog is when a bunch of people write about the same thing on the same day. Like flash mob dancers at the mall.
You are such a SWEETHEART. So Glad to Know YOU!
Much light and love to you
SO GLAD TO KNOW YOU TOO XOXO
YOU KNOW IT …
I JUST CALLED YOU SAMMY —- SORRY !

Lees. xxx
Thank you for being you!
Sam
Hugs and Bunches of your favorite scent coming your way.
Love you you crazy lady…would that be freshly cut grass after a mild shower, cinnamon maybe, oh…I know freshly ground coffee first thing in the morning. Or it could be puppies, I like the smell of puppies, not wet dogs though….Ewwww….LOL
Oh, good. We like the same smells.
What a relief. I was worried about having to smell stinky things. LOL!
And God just shows us one more time….LOL
I like some really strange smells, but they smell great to me!
Tears and goosebumps and more tears. Thank you Sam for such a lovely poem. I can imagine our anonymous friend, reading and finding such comfort. You have comforted me. Bless you.
Lori
You inspired me to post this. I had another post all set to go. (I will post it tomorrow) and right when I was going to hit publish, I read your comment to me from your blog: “Can’t wait to see what you write.” And I thought: I need to be part of this; it’s important.
When I tried to write, I couldn’t think of anything that the poem I’d written before didn’t already say. So I posted the poem—Thanks to you.
See how the world works…little ripples of love xoxo Sam
Sam,
I am deeply honored to be a part of the process that led to this post. Thank you for telling me!
I am thrilled by all of the responses and it has given me great pleasure to imagine my young self reading these marvelous posts. I feel a part of myself being filled that was long ago empty. I’m glad you are a part of that!
Lori
Oh Sam, I was really hoping you were going to participate because I knew you would add something to the project as beautiful as this. thank you!
It was Quiet Week and another blogger George that inspired me (from their blogs) to share this poem. I wrote it before and was going to write something else for today. But the poem says it all for me. Thank you for your support. Love ~ Sam
Excuse me, but, Yay Again!
I LEFT A REPLY ———
DON’T KNOW IF I PRESSED THE RIGHT BUTTON ?

HOPE AND COURAGE XOXO
CAT
Yep. Your comment is awesome.
SAMMY SORRY THE TEARS – THEY GOT IN THE WAY AND THEN I PRESSED “FLASH ” AND THEN CAME BACK AND THE TEARS WERE STILL ROLLING AND THOUGHT I DIDN’T MAKE A COMMENT —-
SO ….. YIKES LADY …..
YOU SO ROCK …….
YOU ARE SO ALTRUISTIC ….
I LOVE YOU
Bravo!
Standing ovation from me!!
Loved it
Thank you so much for sharing
I don’t understand what the big fuss is about someone wishing they didn’t have AS. I used to feel the same way and now I don’t think it’s a big deal I have it. I now wish I didn’t have anxiety or any learning problems. I think those two give me more problems than my Asperger’s.
As I imagine you know, everyone experiences AS differently. People just finding out, teenagers facing depressing and isolation, etc. may be struggling with the diagnosis. I understand about the anxiety part. Thanks for sharing.
Sam
Sam….This is so beautiful and brilliant and so you….Truly samtastic…and sigh….it’s sad sometimes that frustration can bring artistry, but you are an amazing artist….
Your kindergarten children must love you. You are so full of praise.
Yes, it’s that sadness that makes us artists reach a deep soul-level.
Great to connect.
Keep up your awesome poems.
Sam
got to have that 90 to 10 positive to negative ratio lol…You’re a great writer and your pieces are not only technically good, but they are deeply touching…It’s easy to want to praise that
I knew you would do a GREAT job with this one, Sam! Way to go!
I don’t know if you recognize it. This is a poem I wrote when I first started blogging. But I never assigned the poem to a day #93. So this worked out perfectly. I couldn’t put into words what I felt, better than this poem. I was thinking: “Oh, no, George has seen this already.” And then I had a good laugh at my silly self (LV). Thanks for the cheers. Your post was awesome.
Sam
Beautiful post! Thank you for sharing!
This one gave me chills and tears. I hope our searcher finds you. There is so much to read and learn and to laugh about together. This would be a good place to call “home”. xoxo
Thank you. What a compliment. I can’t think of anything better than calling my blog a “home” for someone. Hugs and love, Sam
There’s a world of pain in that poem. Searing.
very uplifting thoughts, Sam…thank you very much!!!! totally enthralled by the positively charged body of words
YES to ASPERGER’S!!!! YES to US ASPIES!!!! and YES, it’s a wonderful world…i couldn’t ask for more…i’m soooo full of gratitude beyond words to the GREAT CREATOR of you and me…{{{{hugssss}}}}
That is wonderful. I am so happy for you! Much love ~ Sam
Just as beautiful as you are!
Awe…so sweet. Thank you, Sue.
I had to share this with my aspie daughter (my own personal little female “Edgar Allan Poe”) with love from her aspie mom. I hope this brightens her spirits when every day life is such a struggle.
I hope it does to. Thank you for sharing. I was quite the Edgar Allan Poe as a young child….lots of dark poetry. Wishing you much love on your journey. Sam
