Best Down Syndrome Poems
My face may be different but my feeling is the same.
I laugh and I cry and take pride in my gains.
I was sent here among you to teach and to love as God in the heavens looks 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 lesson 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.
Down syndrome
It is like a landscape that labour under dark clouds
when I remember, the call I got from former woman friends
she had broken up with me because she was pregnant
with Dutch fellow from Amsterdam
15 years later she rang me -I`m old fashion do not change
my phone number often- the Dutchman had gone old and
returned to Holland, that his daughter was really mine
if I would come and say hallo.
I went to her house but wisely had my wife with me, my
“Daughter” was 14 and had the Down syndrome, a nice little
person who likes to hug and kiss people, I had no knowledge
whether she was my daughter or not and there is nothing
about this disabled child that reminded her of me except she
has diabetes.
I could have taken blood test to ascertain if it was my child
I didn`t want to know the result, didn`t want to be bothered.
My wife was angry said I was egocentric, so I agreed to let her
visit us for a few days every month.
The woman I had sex with, twenty years ago says the girl need
this and that, new shoes but, not bought at a Chinese shop
I ignore that and walk her about in the village as I did my dog,
stroke her hair tell her she is a nice girl,
but no, I can`t get it into my head that she is my daughter.
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
Down's Syndrome is such a big scare
Because it happens everywhere
So clinics should close
Since everyone knows
The greedy need more than their share*
*90% of the cases at one clinic are
attributed to Down's Syndrome but
the GOP won't fund research - nor
prevention - as all the GOP needs
is "approved" voters who vote
the party line
