You are evidence that life is full of blessings we don’t deserve.
You and I are “wonderfully made”
I lost track of how many nights we have spent
with medical equipment as our soundtrack
Do you know how many times we have driven to the children’s hospital?
Me neither, I stopped counting years ago
I am grateful that has finally slowed down
(We were all getting tired of it)
I know what the world sees
A little girl whose body doesn’t work right
They don’t hear you talk or walk
You don’t learn the way others do
Your liquid food is pumped through a tube in your stomach
Let’s not discuss too much about the diapers
Some people are a afraid of you
They see a broken little girl
They are wrong
So very, very wrong
You are so much more than your body
You have a twinkle in your eye
A contagious laugh that exudes joy
You are brave, strong and smart
and so very innocent
Your soul is pure
You have added depth to my story
My faith is deeper and even stronger
We have met beautiful people because of you
So many lessons we’ve learned
The lives you have touched
Those are your ministry my darling
You are a minister
You teach grace
You teach mercy
You teach compassion
You know peace
You are a miracle
I am so grateful you’re mine
