~~~~~~~~

Striving to be happy all the time is unrealistic
Your child born with Down syndrome
The early years were driven by fear and ignorance
Life became more complex -
constantly trying to find balance
Jacob has difficulty learning -
born into a world where one does not fit
All children have enormous potential
Support your child in making decisions at any time in life
~~~
Jacob loved lullabies
could see it in his eyes
He listens and communicates
using movements, no rule relates
Skilled at drawing and painting
I rarely hear him complaining
It's fun to play Super Mario
but, Superman is his hero
Jacob flies around all day
a completely normal child's play
