Years ago
In my more crippled days
I was fortunate
To be from a family
That put a roof over my head
And loved me.
When I needed help and
The system wasn’t there
My family
Lent a hand.
When I was broke
They clothed and fed me.
When I needed sanity and
Everything was out of control
They stood by me.
If God and my family hadn’t
Pointed me on the right path
I wouldn’t be were I am
today,
Working
And feeling
Healthy.
If only everyone
With disabilities
Was this lucky.
