We are Alike, the Same...

[lightsoflove]

---

 

 

                 I am just a small face;

           in this world we call our own,

                               

                I am just a fragile voice,

               left in my world to say            

 

                  I care deeply,  I love deeply, 

       

                       I am the same,                              

                 

             but more different then you,

                          

          I am a child with Down syndrome,

            with a heart so pure and true. 

                     

                   I am not contagious;

         don’t be scared to come to close

              

             Just your love and attention,

           that’s what I crave the most.

            

                 I am not unintelligent; 
            I just act differently then you.

         It's not that I don't understand

I see things from a different point of view’ 

        I may throw my fits, only because I

               don’t know what to say.  

         So, please don’t point and stare,
             I never asked to be this way.

                    

        Show me the compassion I desire,

        or my potential is left unknown.

                  

                                          I am human, I am brave, 

                      

 Understanding and acceptance to know 

                       that I belong,  

    

         My intentions so innocent and pure,

        Search in your heart and see that

                   I am more like you,

  
 

                   It’s not what you say,

         but how you act, or what you do. 

 

            I fear,  I cry,  I live life everyday

                 and I never ask why.

     So please don’t laugh at me or call me

                      hurtful names,

                     

      I am not that different from you, 

        we are more alike, the same.
