I had a dream,
In the realm of the dream, I dare to dream,
That one day people would stare at him,
And stare at him not for the wrong reasons,
But stare at him because he is trying to make a difference,
Stare at my son and only progeny,
As he is trying hard to be proud of who and what he really is,
A being who refuses his environment to shape him,
A brilliant young man who believes that disability is not inability,
A change agent who will not let peoples’ opinions be his reality,
A down-syndrome with a difference,
I dare to dream
