[tri-med] Poem I found

Has anyone seen this before? I found it underneath a picture of my daughter
on a friends website.
 

 

I'm handicapped and wheelchair bound

Expected to sit and not make a sound

Just to smile and let the world go by

With saintly patience and never sigh.

Inside my head thoughts come and go

Ideas are born which long to flow

Flow from my lips and link me with others

But words sound strange so no one bothers.

My tongue and lips do not as I ask

I cannot perform the simplest task

But I have a mind and I'm still there

Don't lock me out in your ignorance there.

Talk though I seem not to understand

touch me, include me, hold my hand

I am alive and I have time to give

Let me share in the life I was given to live
