Created with Love, LoriFlower
~ You Made Me Who I Am ~
I held you close
and stroked your head and sang
"Today my prince did come"
when you were born.
I soon found out
you never heard those words,
because you were
brought to me deaf.
I never thought this was a loss,
because to me
you were perfect in every way
and being deaf
was just part of who you were.
We laughed and learned
your sign language
and It was special.
We discovered life together,
yours in the hearing world
and me in the world of the Deaf.
And odd as it may seem,
it was all so natural for us.
You were always just you,
but you made me who I am.
You made me see
the world in a new way.
You made me learn.
You made me think.
You made me love.
You made me Mommy.
~FOREVER YOUR MOTHER~
