Welcome to Holland

[natalimasarskaya]

I have a rare genetic disorder and have heard this poem several times. I am amazed at how well this man is able to read this poem! The emotion and the words are so profound! God bless you all!

Words are by Emily Perl Kingsley. She's a writer for Sesame Street. Her son Jason was born in 1974 with Down Syndrome. This is hands down, one of my favorite poems. This was beautifully read. Well done.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I have two sons that have autism and people ask me all the time. Now I just tell them this story. Thank you!

Brilliant poem, it summed up having a child with severe Cerebral Palsy. Thank you for sharing! One of the best on YouTube.

My two little boys, 4 and 2, are autistic. This brought tears to my eyes. I rarely think of Italy because Holland is all I know. Among many other ways, we are lucky in that regard.

i love love love this beautiful poem, my daughter has Cerebral Palsy. I know when friends and family say 'i understand waht your going through' they mean well but they really dont unless they are there themselves. This is a really good way for them to get an insight of it all. xxxx

Love it! My son has DS and this is the first thing I read at the hospital about DS and I have always loved it and even 8 years later it still gives me goosebumps! Beautifully done!

Thank God someone was able to put into words what so many parents are feeling. Bravo to the author and the reader in this video. Thank you for both sharing your talents.

[BorovnianHeir]

Brilliant effective reading. And so true.

[justez7]

Awwh, WOW.

This video is great!

I'm currently studying this poem, and din't expect to find a video of it on YouTube. Just by reading it, you don't sense the emotion that went into to it, but this video has knocked it on its head.

Well done and thank you!!

Ik zag eerst het filmpje "Holland and Miracles" maar nu begrijp ik dat dit een antwoord op jouw film is. Wat een prachtige omschrijving van het krijgen van een kindje met een handicap. Wij hebben een kleindochter met DS. Na over de eerste schrik, want zo mag je de landing toch echt wel noemen, heen te zijn, genieten we nu met volle teugen van ons kleinkind. Groeten uit Holland.

[carrisullivan]

This is one of my favorite stories. I love it even more now, after listening to it read by Guy Hayton. Wow. My daughter with downs is now 25 years old and I can say, I love Holland!
