She is the definition of perseverence (a poem)

You went to speak, but the words wouldn’t come,
Stuck in your brain,  so easy for some.

You went to crawl with the best of intents,
Yet your body didn’t know what your brain meant.

You went to walk, big smiles and all,
yet every time you tried, it ended with a fall.

You went to drink from a big girl cup
You would sputter and spit till it came up.

A new car for Christmas kids want to ride
Spins in circles, hard to learn how to drive.

But

You are a living example to persevere
and with it you conquer all our fears.

One day you said mommy, and I love you
One day you crawled to daddy’s shoe.

You don’t just walk but now you run
You drink from any cup till it’s done.

and I know in time you will do it all,
with  more patience and practice
you will conquer it all.
