My Child Is Perfect

The day you were born I couldn't believe I could create something so beautiful My child is perfect All your firsts....you walked late, you talked late, but you were only waiting until you could do it just right My child is perfect Your sister didn't want you there She wanted to stay the best one, the only one My child is perfect Your teacher didn't believe me when i told her you were gifted All parents think their child is the best At the next parent/teacher meeting she said, "You were right" My child is perfect You went to a new school with other kids as gifted as you You didn't feel like you fit in No matter where you go, someone will try to make you feel like you are less There are always those who need to make others feel like less so they feel more than they are My child is perfect You were the victim but you were called the bully They called the police, they sent you away I hate them for making you feel like the bad guy My child is perfect Your father said you could do better, you should do better He didn't see you, he just saw numbers and letters My child is perfect I wasn't there for you because he demanded all my attention He used his disability against all of us He used it to take me away from you My child is perfect You didn't see all the good I saw in you You are a writer, a poet, an artist You are beautiful, but you don't believe me when I tell you that My child is perfect You tried to take your beauty away from me, from this world you think doesn't want you here I am thankful you didn't succeed...not the first time, the second time, the third time Not this last time My child is perfect
