Dear Mommy, don't you cry now and Daddy, don't you weep.
I want to whisper in your ear before I go to sleep.
I know that when I came here I seemed perfect in every way
and you were so proud, Daddy when you held me on that day.
And Mommy, when you kissed me and wrapped me up so tight,
I felt as if I belonged here, and everything was right.
When things got really scary and I began to slip away
I saw your face, dear Mommy as you knelt by me to pray.
And Daddy, I always notice when you wipe away a tear,
I may not be able to tell you how much I love you so,
or even show you how I feel.
I may be sort of different, and you may not understand.
I know that I am not that child that you and Daddy planned.
The road we walk is rough sometimes and you cry a lot of tears,
So Mommy don't you cry now, and Daddy, please don't weep...
I want to say,
I love you,
before I go to sleep.
