Something I wrote for my daughter Emma who has severe cerebral palsy
You can not speak, yet we have spoken a million times You talk with your heart, and those big brown eyes you got from Daddy And the two of those, talk louder than the biggest crowd of people
You can not walk, yet we have strolled many a mile in my mind I see us walking hand in hand skipping and playing and laughing One day we will do that, if not here on earth, we will in Heaven
You can not dance, yet I have dreamed of a beautiful ballet One starring you in a fluffy purple tutu and shoes You will dance one day my love, and I will be there to cheer you on
You are not like the other kids but that is ok You are more special in every single way Some see you as "broken" but I see you as whole, because that is what you have made me. Whole.
You are stronger than a lion, more beautiful than the angels Just the very thought of you makes people smile And those who are blessed to know you, are better people becasue of it
You can not yell at me when you need my help You can not say "Momma I need you" But despite that I will always be there to help, whenever you need me
Your hands can not hold mine unless I help you with them Once you do hold them though you won't let go I won't ever let go of you my baby girl, for all eternity I will love you
I asked God to give me a daughter but I think he made a mistake Not in who you are and what you can do and what you can't He sent me an angel instead, the most perfect creature I have ever seen
On top of that he sent me two, first my Emma and then little Ella boo I get so jealous of your twin sister, she is the only one who knew you before you got hurt Sharing a space inside of me, that only the two of you could know
God sent you here for a reason, and I still haven't figured it out Was it to make me a stronger Mommy? Or to bless those who know you? Perhaps it is a bit of both, either one its an honor to be your Mom
My baby girl, you make me so very proud in all you do And I often find myself wondering what I did to deserve the Honor of being Called the most beautiful words ever "Emma's Momma".

Absolutely beautiful. Emma, and your words. Thank you, Lori. Well done.
Your words bring me to tears. No child should have to suffer cerebral palsy. But you are a good mother and that is the best thing for Emma there could be.
