ThePuzlzle0fAutism's blog: "i have to let go"

Freddy Frog has a few stories out now... this is his original tale! 1 of 12 contemporary rhyming stories in my newely released book: Miss Amy's Hurray for Rhyme it's Story Time. (Collection #1)- Collection #2 "Snack Attack" is in production now! .. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freddy Frog Freddy Frog went hopping on a frosty chilly night. But when he hopped into the pond he slipped on top the ice. He stomped and jumped into the cold to try and take a swim, But getting down below the ice was very hard for him. Freddy tried throughout the night. He never slept wink. He night was almost morning now. The sky glowed orange and pink. He had to try a new way down since hopping wouldn’t do. So with his kindest froggy croak he said, “Hello to you!” Oh please, dear Ice, I’d like to splash and play there down below. Open a hole just large enough for a small frog to go. Just then the sun began to rise and smiled on Frog and Ice. The ice smiled back and cracked a bit just trying to be nice. Sun and Ice and Freddy had a happy, fun-filled day. But as the sun began to set the water went away. The ice, it seems, went back to sleep and closed the crack for night. Freddy Frog will wait ‘til morn for another splash delight. -Amy Sellers

This funny little dragon and poem were made into greeting cards for children and families affected by autism. PEOPLE SEEM TO LOVE THIS!.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Aubrey the Autism Dragon” The other day I met someone Who gave me such a fright… He came into my bedroom and He stayed all day and night! He climbed onto my book shelf and He looked for snacks to eat But couldn’t find what makes him smile He likes a special treat! So when he looked into my box That’s filled with toys and such He smiled with glee and reached down in And said, “Thank You very much!” He ate up all the puzzle pieces that I had inside Then rubbed his big fat belly and opened his mouth wide. The last bite that he took made the dragon burp and say. Good-bye for now, but don’t be sad, cause I’ll be back some day! -By Amy Sellers

Blessed Are Those I. Blessed are those who stop and listen to my chatter. You may not understand me; but I love when people talk to me, for I long for companionship, too. II. Blessed are those who take my hand and walk with me when the path is rough, for I easily stumble and grow weary. But thank you, too, for letting me walk alone when the path is smooth, for I must learn independence. III. Blessed are those who take the time to tell me about special happenings, for unless you make special effort to inform me, I remain ignorant. IV. Blessed are those who wait for me. I may be slow, but I appreciate your patience. V. Blessed are those who are not ashamed to be seen in public with me, for I did not choose to be born thus. It could have been you as well. VI. Blessed are those who do not pity me, for I don't want pity. All I want is understanding and respect for what I have learned as well. VII. Blessed are those who notice my accomplishments, small as they may seem to you. I must work long and hard to learn many of the things you take for granted. VIII. Blessed are those who include me in their games, even though I may not understand the rules, I still like to be included in your activities. IX. Blessed are those who think of me as a person who loves, and hurts, and feels joy and pain just like you do, for in that respect I am normal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Have To Let Go I have to let go of.. The dreams I had for you All the things I assumed we’d do The tea partys little girls enjoy And playing with dolls and toys I have to let go of.. That you may never speak Never hear you say Mummy to me I have to let go of.. You may never finish school Have a career Marry or even have kids I have to let go of.. The anger I feel For what I think I’ve lost Learning to let go Is very hard I’m trying You’re a very special girl I have to start appreciating the little girl That I love beyond compare Because I know you love me too
