Babies with Down syndrome Creed

This is a nice poem, that speaks to us now especially as Olivia is struggling to reach the same milestones that her typical peers are reaching with ease. One day she will be crawling and walking, and all sorts of things, but not yet. We are learning more and more each day what patience and perseverance and hard work really mean! The Creed of Babies with Down Syndrome Author unknown - submitted by Hope Colen

My face might 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'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 same 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 as you do But at my own pace.
