Traducao (Portugues)

Nasci sem braços e sem pernas. Não tenho braços, mas posso abraçar. Não tenho pernas, mas posso dançar. Se eu posso superar meus desafios, o que te faz pensar que você não pode superar os seus? Eu costumava achar que não tinha valor. Nenhum propósito. Tentei me afogar quando tinha dez anos. Mas hoje sou grato pela minha vida. É mentira pensar que você não vale. É mentira pensar que não é suficiente. Você é lindo e você é amado. Não importa suas circunstâncias, você tem algo para dar a este mundo.
