The Innocent
She thinks no evil-does no harm. Her disposition is always calm. So full of love and kindness too. She only sees the good in you.  Anger, lust, they’re not real;
Such normal impulses she doesn’t feel.

She is innocent, this is true – of hate and fear and things we do. Such perfect trust, so hard to find. Exemplifies her peace of mind.

With eyes upturned and heart sincere. Her thoughts may seem quite far from here. A deeper knowledge, yet not expressed. Perhaps she’s wiser than the rest.

She’s sweet and gentle, meek and mild, she’s our lovely Down’s Syndrome Child.
