Two Words
by Cheryl Ward
Your birth brought us closer
As death lingered near
Your strength as you struggled
Gave flight to our fear
Down Syndrome they whispered
days after your birth
Two words that portrayed
A false image of your worth
Those words did not tell us
Of the love you would bring
Or the power your smile has
To make our hearts sing
Down Syndrome didn't tell us
What kind of child you would be
Filled with amazing surprises
Shared with your father and me
Hard work, determination,
Teaching and learning, it's true
Down Syndrome means much of this
For each of us, not just you
Wonder child, spirited child
You've grown and you've thrived
Your every achievement
Still fills us with pride
No matter the voice used
Two words can't describe
The fullness you've added
To so many lives
Down Syndrome, those frightening words
Whispered so long ago
Never did they prepare me
For the person I now know.

Have a Great Day at work.
I LOVE IT !!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the poem and videos. I remember when my daughter was in elementary school. Picking her up one afternoon, I happened to hear her and some of her friends making fun of a girl with downs. I immediately addressed the situation and told her, that the girl even though she looks different and acts different, she is a human with feelings just like you and I will not tolerate my kids dissing another person because of what medical condition or disability they may have . Show more respect and care more for the disabled. Everybody looks for leadership and I expect you to be the leader. I reminded her of her uncle, whom is mentally retarded and asked her how she felt when people were making fun of him. She did not like it. One of lifes lessons learned at a young age but it has stuck with her.
That is so sweet and so true!! Thanks for Sharing and God Bless
