World Down Syndrome Day
My face may be different
But my feelings 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 am 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 same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It comes from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not from the start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do
But at my own pace

Beautiful 🥰
My daughter has DS and is the most loving humans I know.
I had this up on my office wall and in my locker.
@QuietByNature I was taught by my Mom to love everyone for who they are and to remember that everyone has something to offer to this world and they are capable and more than excepting of love.
She had a sister born with part of her brain missing who had special needs. I never heard my Mom speak anyway of her other than kind words and about how much she loved her. Sadly, her sister passed away at 13. My Mom kept her memory alive by teaching me to be kind to everyone no matter our differences.
