Can You Tell?

This poem is too beautiful not to share!

Can You Tell?
Many times I wonder As I go throughout the day,
Can you tell that I am special, When you look my way?
Can you tell that I am different, When you look into my eyes,
And see the tiny Brushfield spots, That sparkle when I smile?
When you see my chubby little hands, The line so deep and long,
Can you tell that I’m unique, When I sign to you in song?
Can you tell by looking at my face, So sweet and full of joy,
That I’m as precious as they come, Mommy’s Little Boy?
And Daddy’s Little Girl When she dances all around,
Can you tell by the way she twirls, In her ballerina gown?
Can you tell by my expressions, By the way my body moves,
By the little things that differ, From the children known to you?
Can you tell that I’m a blessing, Sent from up above,
To live here on this earth with you, And fill your world with love?
Can you tell that I have feelings, The same as all of you,
Sometimes I laugh, sometime I cry, My heart is human, too.
Can you tell that I am worthy? Do you see me less than whole?
I hope you can appreciate, My selfless perfect soul.
My love is unconditional, Loyal ‘til the end.
Can you tell that I am capable, Of being your best friend?
Can you tell that just like other kids, I love to run and play.
But, at times I need to do these things, In my special way.
Don’t judge from my appearance, There are differences, it’s true.
But, when you really think of it, Can you tell I’m just like you?

It's amazing what this past year has done for all who know Chelsea. She has changed us all forever. I hope she has taught you half as much as she has taught me; preserverance, compassion, loyalty, love. She's just an angel. I know that I have also become much more sensitive since her birth. Always disecting others' words and often becoming defensive. I hope that you all understand though that we should all be sensitive to others. Think carefully before you speak, you never know who is listening, and always think to yourself, how would I feel if someone was speaking like that about my dear sweet Chelsea?
