A brilliant poem, performed brilliantly. This poem is an excellent way for parents of a special needs child to get across how they feel to others.

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.

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
