i am in a wheelchair,

sometimes people stare, like i'm not even there.

but i say to myself my loved ones care. and move

on down the road. for years i shed tears cause

math problems gave me just that problems! the math

side of my mind does not work well sure i can see

the numbers adding them and taking them away is

even tougher and anything above and beyond forget

it. i can write lovely poems, do art, most of the

time with little help. and most of the time, i need

lots of help.... someone needs to help with

bathing, putting on clothing, bathrooming needs,

cutting up food getting in & out bed just to name

a few. but i can eat myself, write on computer &

write by hand, talk, love, laugh and cry. i was

not supposed to live when i was born but somehow i

did. i was my mom's and dad's little peanut being

born in philly at one pound and two oznces i

think but don't quoate me on that cause math is

not my strong suit. when i was young my family

never gave up on me. my family loves me

unconditionally and support me. but life while

good was not and is not a bed of roses.

my life has had it's hills and valley's and i have

had 2 roll with it...luckly i have a loving

brother, mother,father and a huge extended family

that loves me 2. like you i have my joys my

sorrows pain and yes love. so just like you i am

human... so yes sometimes i have hated my

wheelchair or the fact that i cannot do math, time

and money and dates for anything, having to ask 2

go 2 bathroom etc. but i also enjoy and embrace

what i can do... so if u meet me smile and say

hello when i drive by and when i dream i'm

walking........ love, kerri to my family and

friends, pca's (persons who are help the

disabled),grandma jean, mom and dad and

brother, and many others.

Dear Kerry, I do love your poetry as you show talent and you show your beautiful sensitive heart. May you continue to dream of being able to walk, I think it helps to cope with reality, which is not easy at all.
It's good to know you are surrounded by love.
I do express the hope that things will improve for you.

Thank you for sharing your heart.

Love,
Margherita
