This work of love promotes
understanding, acceptance, and peace by
honouring the gifts that each child
brings into the world. It offers
profound insight into the mind and heart
of a mother whose son was born with Down
syndrome, and sends a poignant message
about the immeasurable worth of every
human being.
Healing for parents of disabled children and
enlightening for health professionals,
educators, and the world, this poem reveals
the vast emotional terrain that the parent of
a special child must traverse, often in
silence, and uncovers a place of endless light
and hope that can be found when one is forced
to explore beyond the tangible and see the
soul. |
