Features

Hi, Sean here.

 

As you should know children with Down Syndrome have common facial features.

This features include:

 

Small ears

Small hands and Feet

Short in height

Flattened face

Flattened nose

Short Neck

A tongue that is almost always sticking out of their mouth

The most common feature is their eyes as they are almond in shape.

 

By reading these features on paper you may think that is some ugly baby. Well personally I find the features to be quite calm, soothing and cute.

 

There is a song which is sung by Luke Jones, and can be found on his album "The best of Luke Kelly". The song is called "Scorn not his simplicity."






See the child
With the golden hair
Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside
Do we know
Can we understand just how he feels
Or have we really tried
See him now
As he stands alone
And watches children play at children's games
Simple child
He looks almost like the others
Yet they know he's not the same
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
See him stare
Not recognizing that kind face
That only yesterday he loved
The loving face
Of a mother who can't understand what she's been guilty of
How she cried tears of happiness
The day the doctor told her it's a boy
Now she cries tears of helplessness
And thinks of all the things he can't enjoy
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Only he knows how to face the future hopefully
Surrounded by despair
He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy
But surely you should care
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
