Help! I am looking for a poem that represents special needs children.

[Denise in PA]

Would somene recommend a poem for my special needs daughter's scrap book? To prepare for her home school evaluation I would like to begin the year with a special poem reflecting God's unique creation - my ten year old daughter. Thank you!:)

From a friend's blog:

 

Kids Who Are Different by Digby Wolfe

 

Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids who don't always get A's

The kids who have ears twice the size of their peers,

And noses that go on for days ...

 

Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids they call crazy or dumb,

The kids who don't fit, with the guts and the grit,

Who dance to a different drum ...

 

Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids with the mischievous streak,

For when they have grown, as history's shown,

It's their difference that makes them unique.

This was written for a boy with Autism so I don't know if it would be of any use but I love it and would like to share it!

 

MY LITTLE MAN

My little man cant really throw a ball

My little man has a hard time catching one too

My little man can’t tie his shoes

My little man can have a big melt down

My little man cant hop on one foot.

My little man may seem a bit weird to other children

My little man has a hard time with friends

BUT

My little man can skip

My little man can run like the wind

My little man can light up a room with just one smile or giggle

My little man can hug and kiss me

My little man says he loves me

My little man has more love in him then most

My little man HAS fealings too
