It's International Day of People with Disabilities!

A day for people with disabilities to celebrate the ABILITIES

So here's a poem to celebrate some of my abilities



LITTLE GEMS!



I may have a disability,

But let’s focus on ABILITIES!

My would contains many gems,

So let me share a few of them.



To fight for those who can’t speak,

To look for answers they can’t seek,

To be a voice through my pen,

By spilling out my little gems.



I look at the world with different eyes,

To share my secrets with the unwise,

To learn to laugh, love and play,

To plan adventures for future days!



To challenge that of status quo,

To laugh even when I’m feeling low,

To inspire people to dream,

Challenging them to swim up stream,



To show the world a different way,

Inviting them to come and play,

Although I need to bend the rules,

I too can play to secure my jewels.



Ok so my gems may differ,

And you play a little quicker,

I can still win this game of life,

Gaining my piece of paradise,

A CHALLENGE!

 

Whether you like it or not we all have disabilities,

So you can see while others you can't,

A disability is something that impairs ones ability

to perform a task, without the assistance of an 'aid'.

So if you're reading this with your glass on

I'm afraid to tell you that you have a disability.

A disability may be physical, intellectual, psychological,

emotional, behavioural, social, or financial.

So if you can cross all those things off 

Congulations your one of the very few people who

Don't have a disability.

 

Oh yeah, if you don't wear glasses, but

you find yourself enlarging the font to 

read my blog or need to move a book

closer or further away then that's a

disability too!

 

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
