Art Corner

Back to Welcome page

Here at the family support committee, we recognize that there are many ways that people express how the experience of knowing and loving a person with special needs has affected our lives. What follows is poetry, art and other expression that people have submitted to share.

Thanks to those who have shared their art.

They said we'd know in one year

I wore my rose colored glasses

And saw everything clearly

Until the fog

Meandered in

Hiding all measures

Of direction

Until its weight

No longer bearable

Condensed into rivers

Overflowed the banks

Ravaged all in its path

Leaving a trail of debris,

Desolation ripe with possibility
