"Special" Needs

A poem by April Vernon

They say that I have "special" needs,

and while that's partly true,

the needs that matter most to me

are the same ones you have too.

I NEED TO BE ACCEPTED.

I need friends that make me smile.

I need a chance to learn and grow,

feeling valued all the while.

Sure, I need some extra help

and some things I can't do,

But I hope you'll see beyond all that...

Inside, I'm just like you.

I am so glad Macy chose me to be her mom.  She is such a blessing to our whole family!

Happy March 21st (Down syndrome day)!
