The Key

I wish I were a locksmith With the skills to make a key. A magical key I would make, So I could unlock the mysteries Locked away in my son's mind. I would then travel the world Finding all such children And I would unlock their mysteries as well. They would experience the world As other children do. There would be laughter, And screams of delight Echoing from the silent children. Those children who are seen as lost Would now be found. Imagine how it would be For the mother hugged by her child For the very first time. Or what a joy it would be For the father who heard the name "Daddy" Coming from his daughter's mouth. Tears would flow, Of this I am sure. And families torn apart Might once more come together. If only I were a locksmith...... Autism would be no more!
