She was born spectacular in every way
Eyes wide open and full head of hair
Doctor and nurses frozen in a stare
from the beginning oh so rare
and as she grew, even more amazing she was
more beautiful, more aware,  smarter, more perceptive, and more smart
I knew that she would always be a work of art
explosions of stimuli bombaded her heightened ways
clinging to the love from her parents wanting her to play
What could change the way she saw the beauty of her core
group after group and their misdirections-where's the door?
I wanted to shelter her for I knew what might come
educate at home, stay away from the craziness of systems in place
but all my words were shunned by those in the race
and even my own marriage failed to replace
as the parents group was now bombarded
with challenges we slowly came unlaced
insensitive to brilliant awareness so clear in her view
Schools with their systems bowling over all but a few
Religion using force and hitting her when logic failed
Musical instructors trusted and even then, slapping entailed
Friends, family, mates, and dates all seemed fake
What was the truth was it me at stake
All that was trusted eventually failed
Leaving doubts of self when feeling your ship sailed
Pointing only to YOU compared to nothing outside
The glory of you is not what groups hide
Not in any comparison to all that was wrong
STILL SPECTACULAR IN EVERY WAY
THAT'S THE ONLY TRUE SONG
