Monday Moment for Down syndrome - A Beautiful Life

Over the last 4 years I have collected MANY poems and stories about Down syndrome and special needs in general. Since a lot of my readers have kids with special needs, I thought I would post one poem or story every Monday. Chances are you'll find one you've never heard along the way!

"A Beautiful Life"
By: Lisa Peele
(A Poem for Bridget by Mom)

Look at me
Loving Life
Laughing
Watching
Becoming

See what
I can do and
All I am

Look closely…
Through the soft focus of my life
frame by frame
You’ll see the essence of things

I see the world
in its most perfect state
I see the good in things
and in people

I see a world
of Joy, Hope
and Infinite Possibility

See me for who I am

Deliberate, sweet and true

I am beautiful
I am strong
I am happy
I am loved

I live a Beautiful Life

I am

A Beautiful Life

I love this one, too. I lot of these fit for things other than Down's Syndrome. Thanks for posting that.
