October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month so even though I am already 5 days behind, I am going to attempt to blog everyday (it will probably be more like every few days but we will see) this month. The challenge is to blog 31 days for Trisomy 21 awareness. Anyone can do it and you don't have to blog about down syndrome.
DOWN SYNDROME CREED
My face may be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
To teach you to love
As God in heaven
To him I'm no differant
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 have chosen
Will help me get started
For I am one of the children
So special and 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 and embrace
And I'll do as you do
But at my own pace

Wow! I love that creed! Tears of joy as I read it again for these special little ones! And a grateful heart for all they teach me with their hugs, their kisses, their smiles, and their little legs running with out stretched arms saying, "Mamma!!!"
XOXOXO
Love it love it - publish print, that's a wrap... can't get any better to put things into the RIGHT perspective.
Wow, beautiful!
Could there be any cuter girls than yours?! :D I love the poem, by the way! Oh, I guess my girls are pretty cute...I'd better say that, huh? :D
So cute! The poem is so sweet!
Kecia you are gifted!!!! With words, pictures, and reaching out to people in a way that makes them understand things they thought they already knew, but in a way that enlightens them on a spiritual level. Did that even make sense? I love kids with DS. But this post makes me CELEBRATE them even more! I just am so thankful that i live in a world (and country) that has people like you that champion the cause of those who cannot do it for themselves. Ill say it a hundred times, I just wish you lived in Boise!!!
just perfect - you got misty eyes and a smile from me
Beatuiful words with adorable little girls. :)
That was so beatuiful! I still can't wait to meet her! You guys need to come to Lida's house so we can get together!
I LOVED how you did the creed with photos like you did :)
