We Cherish You


Sissy knew you before we did
She longed for you in her dreams

She began to voice her need for you
And so the thought of you came true

Your uniquely made heart 
Lead us to your particular being 

You joined us in this world early
You melted our hearts immediately

Our preconceived notions of trisomy 21 
were replaced by who you truly are 

What I would give to show you this world is as willing to love the way you do

We awaken each day to open the hearts and minds 
of those who are yet to learn the teachings of the pieces 
of heaven with an extra chromosome 

Our voices will be heard

Our goal is to make the places that bring you joy the safest of all

To keep you laughing as you slide and swing, 
to bring you comfort that friends will be near

Your path to your future will be filled with droves of those you cheer

May God lead you to help those who fear, my sweet dear.
