Everyone Belongs

I choose to love with open hands,
With room for every way to be,
For voices loud or softly planned,
For silence speaking honestly!

I love the minds that wander far,
That see the world in different light,
That trace the truth around a star,
Or focus deep with fierce insight!

Some hearts speak straight, some pause, some sway,
Some feel too much and some guard their space,
There is not one single human way,
To move through time, to learn and to face!

Autism, difference, names we give —
Not flaws, not walls, not lines to draw,
Just varied ways we learn to live,
To hope, to dream and to stand in awe!

So, let my love be wide and true,
Not asking anyone to bend,
I will meet each soul as they come through,
And offer kindness without end!

For loving all is how we grow,
How kinder worlds are truly spun,
When we don’t fear what we don’t know,
But see that everyone is one!
