Online expressions of sympathy may be made by visiting www.hoeningfuneralhome.com The Innocent He thinks no evil-does no harm. His disposition is always calm. So full of love and kindness, too. He only sees the good in you. Anger, lust, they’re not real; Such normal impulses he doesn’t feel. He is innocent, this is true – of hate and fear and things we do. Such perfect trust, so hard to find. Exemplifies his peace of mind. With eyes upturned and heart sincere. His thoughts may seem quite far from here. A deeper knowledge, yet not expressed. Perhaps he’s wiser than at rest. He’s sweet and gentle, meek and mild, he’s our lovely Down Syndrome Child. (author unknown) To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of M.
