You came into this world
A little different than most
But born to me as my son
Who I love and will always hold close
You’re filled with such joy
And see the world through loving eyes
That I could see past your disability
Was really no big surprise
There was so much about your condition
I had to study and learn
But with an open heart and mind
It never gave me a moment of concern
Look at you now
A handsome young boy
Learning and growing
And filling everyone’s heart with joy
I am your proud father
And will do all that I can
To make sure you develop
Into a self sufficient young man
So even though you were born
With an extra chromosome
We will make the best life together
And overcome your Down’s syndrome

Lovingly written.
Thank you for the read and taking time to comment, much appreciated.
BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENTS FRIEND ~ I have Friends who are Downs and they are all wonderful and bring so much JOY into our life ~ they have no guil and what you see is what you get. I worked in a College and we had a lot of Downs in our Specific Needs Department and they always surprised us with their mental & physical capacities. We have Downs in our mainstream secondary Schools and they always have a positive effect on the pupils with only 46 chromosomes ~ AMEN. Your beautiful tribute to your Son brought tears to my eyes ~ Thanks for caring ~ BRIAN
