The Creed of Babies with Down Syndrome My face may be different But my feelings the same. I laugh and I cry And I take pride in my gains. I was sent here among you To teach you 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 But at my own pace

Heavens Very Special Child A meeting was held far from earth 'It's time again for another birth' said the angel to the Lord above 'This special child will need much love'.
Her progress may seem very slow Accomplishments she may not show And she'll require extra care from the folk she meets way down there.
She may not run, or laugh, or play her thoughts might seem quite far away In many ways she won't adapt And she will be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where she's sent We want her life to be content Please Lord find the people who Will be special for you.
They will not realise right away The leading role they're asked to play But with this child sent from above Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they'll know the privilege given in caring for this gift from heaven Their precious charge, so meek, so mild Is 'Heaven's Very Special Child'.

Perfect As my children were born, I wanted them to be perfect.
When they were babies, I wanted them to smile and be content playing with their toys. I wanted them to be happy and to laugh continually instead of crying and being demanding. I wanted them to see the beautiful side of life.
As they grew older, I wanted them to be giving instead of selfish. I wanted them to skip the terrible twos. I wanted them to stay innocent forever.
As they became teen-agers, I wanted them to be obedient and not rebellious, mannerly and not mouthy. I wanted them to be full of love, gentle and kind-hearted. "Oh, God, give me a child like this" was often my prayer. One day He did. Some call him handicapped... I call him Perfect!!

"Sometimes Miracles Hide" by Bruce Carroll They were so excited It was coming to be Two people so in love Now soon there would be three For many years they'd planned it Now it would soon be true She was picking out the pink clothes He was looking at the blue The call came unexpected The doctor had bad news Some tests came back and things weren't right He said, "You're gonna have to choose I'll wait a week for your decision" Then the words cut like a knife "I'm sure everyone will understand If you want to end its life" Though they were badly shaken They just had no choice 'Cause they knew God creates no accidents And they were sure they heard His voice, saying, Sometimes miracles hide And God will wrap some blessings in disguise You may have to wait this lifetime To see the reasons with your eyes 'Cause sometimes miracles hide It seemed before they knew it The appointed day arrived With eager apprehension They could barely hold inside The first time they laid eyes on her Confirmed the doctor's fears But they held on to God's promises 'Cause they were sure they both could hear That sometimes miracles hide And God will wrap some blessings in disguise You may have to wait this lifetime To see the reasons with your eyes 'Cause sometimes miracles hide Though she was not like the other girls They thought she was the best And through all the years of struggle Neither whispered one regret On the day that she started school And took her first bus ride They remembered the words that God had spoken And they both broke down and cried You see to them it did not matter Why some things in life take place 'Cause they just knew the joy they felt When they look into her face
They learned sometimes miracles hide They said, "God has wrapped our blessing in disguise We may have to wait this lifetime to see the reasons with our eyes But we know sometimes miracles hide "We've learned sometimes miracles hide"
