Griffin jumping and running around in a sunny park, with a joyful expression on his face

Griffin is my name, and I love to play. I jump and run around all day. My family is big, and they love me so. They tell me I'm special, and I know. I have something called Down syndrome, you see. But it doesn't stop me, I'm just being me. G is for Griffin, that's who I am. I'm happy and loved, just like a lamb.

G is for Griffin

H is for happy, a feeling so bright. I feel it every day, morning to night. My mom and dad, they make me smile. We laugh and play, mile after mile. Ruston is my friend, he's ten years old. We play together, brave and bold. Memaw tells stories, they make me glad. With my family around, I'm never sad.

H is for Happy

I is for imagine, a world so grand. With castles and dragons, and magic at hand. Griffin the knight, that's who I'd be. Riding a horse, wild and free. Ruston would join, with a sword so bright. Together we'd conquer, day and night. Mom and Dad, they'd cheer us on. As we imagine, from dusk till dawn.

I is for Imagine

J is for joy, it fills my heart. With every smile, it's a brand new start. Memaw's hugs are warm and sweet. They make my day, they can't be beat. Ruston's jokes, they make me giggle. We laugh so hard, we even wiggle. Joy is everywhere, in all we do. With family and friends, it's always true.

K is for kindness, a gift we share. With a helping hand, to show we care. Mom says kindness is in our hearts. It's in the little things, the simple parts. Dad helps me tie my shoes so tight. And Ruston shares his toys, what a sight. Memaw bakes cookies, just for me. Kindness is everywhere, as you can see.

Griffin has a gift, it's plain to see. With Down syndrome, he's still just me. I learn and grow, at my own pace. With love and support, I find my place. My family helps me, every day. In their own special, loving way. Together we shine, like stars above. Griffin's gift is filled with love.
