are like two peas
in a pod.
Some close minded people
may find it
quite odd.
Although Benny and Maggie
are special
and it would be lovely to see
if they can
live together
and always be free.
When Benny
met Maggie
they went to the same school.
Be sure not to judge them.
They're nobody's
fool.
Both families
had a meeting
where others might condone
if Benny and Maggie
could live
on their own.
So after years
of parental supervision
it was time to say goodbye.
Benny comforted Maggie
who began
to cry.
"We're just like everyone else
now"
said Benny with a grin
"and yes, sometimes,
the underdogs
have a chance to win."
It was love's sweet liberty
which pointed
the way
to the final destination
of their
independence day.
Benny and Maggie
are special
and it's lovely to see
that even
with down syndrome
long may they be free!
