"Everyday Superhero"
"Everyday Superhero"
Not all heroes wear capes.
Some are born with an extra chromosome,
and a kind of love that stops you in your tracks.
This isn’t weakness.
This isn’t limitation.
This is power.
The kind that doesn’t shout,
but changes you.
Softens you.
Opens you.
They don’t just make the world better,
they make it feel again.
Today, on Down Syndrome Awareness Day
we don’t just celebrate them,
we learn from them.
Because the greatest superpower
has always been LOVE!
