Instead

by Hogan Hillings, "A proud parent of a child with special needs."

Instead of walking with you,
I will crawl with you.

Instead of talking with you,
I will find ways to communicate with you.

Instead of isolating you,
I will create adventures for you.

Instead of focusing on what you cannot do,
I will reward you with love for what you can do.

Instead of feeling sorry for you,
I will respect you.
