“Special Needs Moms - A Look Inside

BY APRIL VERNON You may think us 'special moms' have it pretty rough, We have no choice. We just manage life when things get

really tough, We've made it through the days we thought we'd never make

it through,

We've even impressed our own selves with all that we can do. We've gained patience beyond measure, love we never

dreamed of giving,

We worry about the future but know this 'special' life's worth

Living, We have bad days and hurt sometimes, but hold our heads up

high, We feel joy and pride and thankfulness more often than we

cry. For our kids, we aren't just supermoms. No, we do so much

more, We are cheerleaders, nurses and therapists who don't walk

out the door, We handle rude remarks and unkind stares with dignity and

grace,

Even though the pain they bring cannot be erased. Therapies and treatment routes are a lot for us to digest, We don't know what the future holds but give our kids the

best, None of us can be replaced so we don't get many breaks,

It wears us out, but to help our kids, we'll do whatever it takes. We are selfless, not by choice, you see. Our kids just have

more needs, We're not out to change the world, but want to plant some

seeds We want our kids accepted, that really is our aim, When we look at them we just see kids, we hope you'll do the

same.”
