I know to the world I am just a statistic
But what God sees is something unimaginatively beautiful
I know the world thinks I can’t see
But to God, I see Him, and that’s the best sight of all
I know to the world I’m delayed a couple years
But what God sees is a love inside me beyond my years
I know to the world I don’t say much
But without words, God hears me
I know to the world I’m a study
But to God, I am one in a million
I know to the world I may not go very far
But God sees me going to a place beyond what the world can provide
I know the world may ridicule me and tear me down
But God can’t wait to compliment me and bring me up
 I know to the world I am less privileged and unfortunate
But to God I am worth more than Rubies,
I mean more to Him than the sparrows,
and His word tells me so
This poem was inspired by Carter Kehn, a precious little boy with Autism whom I love very much. It is dedicated to him and all the other children who live with any special needs. I believe if we look at these special children with a Kingdom view, we will see nothing “wrong” with them. Grades, status, race, speech, giftedness, fast or delayed —none of it matters to God. We are all the same in his eyes. If we look at them with God’s eyes, it might be easier to focus on them, and not their special needs.
