I am not a clever pony,
I am not a graceful beast;
I will never earn a medal,
I will always be the least.

Though my voice is rough and stumbling,
Peace on wings of silver glides;
While you point and laugh and whisper,
In my heart my passion hides.

Bubble wrap became vocation
With my clumsiness revealed;
Taking letters, bringing parcels,
Life, career, and future sealed.

When you ask what keeps me going
Under sun and weather vile,
Watch the eye that sees my darlings
When you wonder why I smile.

Being different, being clumsy and oblivious, being teased and yelled at and not knowing why, is part of my own life story. MLPFiM helped me understand how the other 99% of the population experiences life, and gave me some of the tools to help bridge that vast gulf. I am forever grateful to Lauren, Rob, Jayson, et al. One of the crueler ironies of this universe is the discovery of high-functioning autism by Dr. Hans Asperger. Why couldn't he have been named Hans Uberawesome?

Written during a sermon about God's love for each of us, and posted just minutes before my dad and I saw Red Tails. This day just got better and better.
