As many of you know i work at a camp for people with special needs. it is my life and i love everyone that i work with. when this last session came to an end, we were given a photo frame and a card, and on the card was a verse written by an anonymous person. i read it and cried, and now i am sharing it.
Blessed are you who take the time
To listen to difficult speech,
For you help me to know that
If i persevere I can be understood.
Blessed are you who never bid me to hurry
Or take my tasks from me.
For i often need time rather than help.
Blessed are you who stand beside me
Asi I enter new and untried ventures,
For my failures will be outweighed
By the times i surprise myself and you.
Blessed are you who asked for my help,
For my greatest need is to be needed.
Blessed are you who understand that it is difficult for me
To put my thoughts into words.
Blessed are you who with a smile,
Encourage me to try once more.
Blessed are you who never remind me
That today i asked the same question twice.
Blessed are you who respect me and love me
As I Am.
