 Picture by Josephine Wall * * * This is a follow up poem to "I'm Handicapped By You" and I just wanted others to realise how much of a struggle it is for those less fortunate than ourselves and we need to show a little more compassion. * * * I may be physically challenged But my brain is still okay Please don't treat me like a hero I'm just living life my way My disability is not a curse You cannot catch it like the flu You can reach out and touch me And nothing will happen to you I am a part of your world So please don't shut me out I live a very social life I'm still able to get about I am of value to society I'd like to share my point of view I have a job and a partner See, I'm really just like you * * * "The richest people in our society are those who can give without feeling in any way diminished by giving. This has nothing to do with money It has everything to do with feelings of self-love and abundance" I am in motion |

 (big hugggsssssssss) Your golden, giving heart never stops offering love and comfort to all the world, sweet friend, I wish there could be so many more people like you as those with handicaps are just like us and we must support them and keep them company and communicate with them just as we do with those who don't have handicaps! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

I have a friend with CP. She has had it since a very young child. Many operations. She has a full time job, goes dancing, has just bought a home. Nothing slows this little lady down. I see people stop and stare or whisper. How RUDE........ I say give people with any health problem a hand and surround them with love. Good poem. Love Bon-Bon  |

If all of us REALLY took a good look at ourselves...we'd see that we have some sort of disability (even though many of us choose to ignore them) This is beautiful ! |
