His mind is locked
on god knows what
in his own little world
he is happy and safe
a loving child
who will do no harm
he receives all the love
that its possible to give
we will never know
what he thinks all day
but life has to go on
and he will live his
to the best that he can
with the care he receives
he gets the best there is
from many that help
but he will remain
in his own little world
in the world of a
Downes Syndrome child
