"The Creed of Babies With Down Syndrome"

Posted by Debbie, posted on behalf of my 2 year old daughter, Paige on December 21, 2002 at 10:22:56:

My face may be different
But my feelings are the same,
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains.
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love,
As God in the Heavens
Looks down from above.
To Him I'm no different,
His Love knows no bounds,
It's those here among you
In cities and towns,
That judge me by standards,
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started.
For I'm one of the children
So special and few,
That came here to learn
The sme lessons as you.
That love is acceptance,
It must come from the heart,
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start.
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do,
But at my own pace.
