A Special Gift

Doesn't take much to look into their eyes
& 
See the beauty they hold inside
A different view of the world we know
What seems normal is abnormal to you and me
But
What most fail to see is how smart
 & 
Creative they tend to be
They bring uniqueness to what is ordinary
They teach us patience
Selflessness
Humility
&
Never ending love
They never give up
They show courage
& 
Strength to the challenges they face
& 
In turn challenge us to do the same
They hold steady against stares and ridicule of others
They are in their own right hero's by far
So to all of us,What a gift..... special needs kids are
