A Creed for Children with Down Syndrome

My face may be different

But my feelings the same

I laugh and cry

I take pride in my gains

I was sent here among you

To teach you love

As God in the heavens

Look 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 it as you do

But at my own pace

To my sweet boy,

I love you with all my heart. I never knew I could ever love anything or anyone as much as I love you. You amaze me each and everyday. I love watching you grow and learn...even though I wish you would slow it down just a little. I want you to have the whole world. I want you to be your own person. A leader not a follower. Never change for anyone but yourself. Love yourself, love others, laugh, be creative, be what you want to be, smile, be happy, experience and enjoy life to it's fullest, try new things, make mistakes, but learn from them, try and if you fail, try again, have life long friends, be a best friend, love and know God, be strong, but don't be afraid to be weak at times, know it's ok to cry, have a big heart, know that it's better to give than recieve, share, pray, learn everything your mind can soak in, love the sunshine and the rain, always be the bigger person, let the negative things in life roll of your back, and let the positive shine through your heart and soul, always keep your head up and remember I'm always here for you! I love you so much Carterbug!

Love,

Mommy
