Differences

[Ahso!]

I'm the father of five (four females and one male). When my oldest daughter was married 3 years ago, I wrote a song for us to dance to which was performed by my son who wrote the music. So naturally I set a precedent.

My second oldest daughter is to be married this coming Saturday (November 14th 2009) and I wanted to share my poem(?) which my son is diligently putting a melody to. I didn't give him much time.

Anyway, I've recently come to the realization that both me and my daughter share Asperger"s Syndrome. Neither one of us have been professionally diagnosed, but we both fit the profile 100% and I don't believe I need to spend upward of $2500.00 for each of us to receive confirmation of what is already certain.

That realization is the context for this song/poem.

Differences

We're different, you and I

Not like we're different,

you and I

We're so much alike, you and I

But we're different, you and I

I've always thought I was somehow off

and I saw the off on you

but I didn't understand, then

So you taught me, showed me and you led me

I get it now, and again

Thank you, Sarah

You're so bold and strong

Much more so than I

You're a gift I was given

From somewhere way up on high

I Love you and I need you

and I want you to be happy

I want to watch you fly

Because we're different

You and I

I disagree with many people but usually manage to respect them for their opinions.

Welcome back, may we butt heads often and sometimes even reach agreement :-6

That's nature - I love my daughter to bits but we've had some ding dongs in the past
