Down syndrome creed
My face may be different
but my feelings are the same
I laugh & I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in heaven
Looks down from above
To Him I'm no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities & 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 & few
That came here to learn
The same lessons 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 & embrace
And I'll do as you do
But at my own pace.
