 ~ You Made Me Who I Am ~
 
 I held you close
 and stroked your head and sang
 "Today my prince did come"
 when you were born.
 
 I soon found out
 you never heard those words,
 because you were
 brought to me deaf.
 
 I never thought this was a loss,
 because to me
 you were perfect in every way
 and being deaf
 was just part of who you were.
 
 We laughed and learned
 your sign language
 and It was special.
 
 We discovered life together,
 yours in the hearing world
 and me in the world of the Deaf.
 
 And odd as it may seem,
 it was all so natural for us.
 
 You were always just you,
 but you made me who I am.
 
 You made me see
 the world in a new way.
 
 You made me learn.
 
 You made me think.
 
 You made me love.
 
 You made me Mommy.
