Growing up with a special needs sibling has taught you so much
You have embraced kindness, compassion and love to all you touch
You do all you do with so much grace
Even when you’re hurting, you’ll manage a smile on your face
It’s not always easy, that’s for sure
But, somehow you do it and you are always so pure
Your brother has always required extra care
Even as a toddler, you knew to be there
You know what he says before any words come out
He relies on you without ever having a doubt
You make him laugh and you make him smile
You have always known how to go the extra mile
Your friends have learned about acceptance through you
You include him, and others in all that you do
How very lucky all of us are to celebrate you
Never change your ability to always stay true
You have a heart of gold and you shine so bright
Happy Birthday Sophia, never lose your light!
