  I have hurt a thousand times,
but smiled away the pain.
I am courage.

I have faced impossible odds,
and won.
I am determination.

When no one would listen,
I trusted in God.
I am faith.

I have put my life
in others hands.
I am trust.

I have shared my story
to help others.
I am inspiration.

I have fallen many times,
but I always get up.
I am strength.

I know that a day will come
when all will be well.
I am hope.

I am courage.
I am determination.
I am faith.
I am trust.
I am inspiration.
I am strength.
I am hope.

I AM AIDAN


Written for my young son, who has (and continues to) overcome more obstacles in his short life, then I could ever imagine.

This made me run and hug my own special-needs son. Please give one to Aidan for me!!

Very nice and it's also sweet to write that for your son.

Wonderfully written from the heart. As a teacher of children with special needs I know that YOU are strength for the day, understanding, patience, committment, but most of all, unconditional love.

I can see where your son's qualities come from. You are both blessed...and you are also talented.
