I wish I had known what a joy he would be,
How his face would light up a room,
How much others would love this sweet, special boy,
How acceptance and kindness would bloom.
I wish I had known that we'd be okay,
That we had what it took to get through.
I wish I hadn't been afraid of two little words,
And let "Down syndrome" steal his debut.
Now he is growing, he is learning, he is loved.
He makes us better people every day.
Sure there's more work and extra effort at times,
But we wouldn't have it any other way.
Happy 4th Birthday, Levi!!!
