Innocence

Innocence

© Chris Barry

Your birth so stormy but delicate
Wilful cries expressing your joy
Your features so different yet beautiful
You are our little Down syndrome boy

Your innocence so special and clear
Embedding simplicity so wise and true
Receiving messages of love smiling through
Your little slanting eyes so blue

A child of this world you choose to became
Bringing change to all our lives
Each moment you live without a care
Knowing, it’s your love that energises our joys

A new pathway in life you have shown us
While you enlighten us to the errors of our ways
It’s the grace of your innocence that guides us
While our unconditional love embraces your days
