Chromosome


Little and wanting to have a brother What a gift that would be Begged and pleaded for so long Thank you father and mother Wondering and wanting you to be What's taking so long Sitting and waiting all day All I want is to see Fragile and afraid to touch What's wrong with everyone Crying and expecting the worst Just want a brother so much Holding and explaining Down syndrome What's the big deal Confused and not understanding Why and who cares about a chromosome Different and slower than others What do I care Run and play just the same I still thank you father and mother
