Rosie King on Youtube

Rosie King is the epitome of an inspirational person living with autism, whose words can inspire other persons on the spectrum to be individual, unique and just be themselves with pride. She also offers a wonderful insight into her experience, which assists with autism awareness and advocacy, and helps educate people about the spectrum. She is a terrific young woman.

Valentine's Day

Some folks don't have someone to share Valentine's Day with. This poem is for these souls.

Valentines Day

Gifts and red roses may come your way

On this the 14^th, love’s Valentines Day.

For some there is no us or gifts to give

When in the moment, alone they must live.

Anticipation of receiving a token of care

Is just a whisper of hope in the air.

But all is not lost in the heart felt stakes

If the love for ones-self quietly awakes.

At peace with alone-ness and without pain

Of old worn paths, life’s not the same.

Share a raised glass in the mirror with self

Delivers past woes to the dim, dusty shelf.

Maybe tomorrow a kindred spirit will see

How rich your kind soul is and can be.

Never to worry when envisioning the day

When others are gifting the red rose splay.

Smile and know that love and peace can begin

With allowing ones-self to love from within.

Here is a rose, a thought gift from me

If on this day you feel a wee bit lonely.

“I can thoroughly recommend Louise's poems, ESPECIALLY for parents and other relatives of autistic individuals because they have a healing effect in an extraordinarily inspirational way. Having worked with Louise on the Nine Degrees project I know her to be a wholesome and caring writer, poet and mum,” (LinkedIn)
