Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks for sharing! Love life and be gentle, I like this poem...The Creed of Babies with Down SyndromeAuthor unknown My face might be differentBut my feelings the sameI laugh and I cryAnd I take pride in my gainsI was sent here among youTo teach you to loveAs God in the heavensLooks down from aboveTo him I’m no differentHis love knows no boundsIt’s those here among youIn cities and townsThat judge me by standardsThat man has impartedBut this family I’ve chosenWill help me get startedFor I’m one of the childrenSo special and fewThat came here to learnThe same lessons as youThat love is acceptanceIt must come from the heartWe all have the same purposeThough not the same startThe Lord gave me lifeTo live and embraceAnd I’ll do as you doBut at my own pace.Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 When my boys were in the NICU, my sister found this poem and she put it on really nice paper and we decorated the twin's bed with the poem. We got lots and lots of comments about it.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 That is weird - not sure who your speaker was, but I have discovered that Tucker signing has helped my six year old Adrienne sound out words.
