Microtia Poem

I met a family from California through Instagram!!  Her son has unilateral microtia and he's super cute!!  her attitude and confidence through her son is so inspiring.  I need to surround myself with more people like her!  Or better yet...inspire others like she has me!  She shared this poem with me and it made me tear up.  It's so beautifully written.  I will be putting this in Maxson's room and reading it to him everyday...

Enjoy!
I'm Special: 
On my way from Heaven, 
God Delayed my trip that day. 
He said that I was special, 
and then sent me on my way. 
But not before He kissed me, 
Right upon my ear. 
He left his blessed mark 
to carry with me here. 
He whispered in my ear right then, 
that He loved me without a doubt, 
and then He closed my ear up tight, 
so the whisper won't get out. 
He told me both my legs were strong 
and would help me stand up tall. 
He told me both my arms would work 
to catch me if I fall. 
My eyes would catch my memories 
to store within the pages of my mind, 
My heart would fill with all the things I would love, 
so many things, i would find. 
He told me I could fall asleep 
to my Daddy's bedtime tales, 
and listen while my mother sings 
of seas and boats and sails. 
For when I'm feeling sad, he said, 
my other ear would hear, 
His whispered words of eternal love, 
left waiting for me there. 
I'm special!!!!
