Contrast of Many Colors

Disabled People Matter

By Kari PhilippotPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Oh, some days are so grey,

for there is nothing I can say!

Hoping and praying for the day,

that Covid - 19 goes away!

Disabilities affect the body and mind.

If only people would always be kind!

Praying, a helping green hand is what I find,

while waiting for new measures to be signed.

If only people truly knew,

for I am deeply hurting inside and feeling so blue.

Where I am a person, just like you!

I struggle everyday not knowing what to do!

Witnessing the golden rays from the sun,

it would be so nice to have some fun!

Not able to go for a walk or a run,

while I spend my evenings with my loving Son!

Having 3 full sized kidneys make me unique,

I have been told, your just a freak!

I feel life right now is very grey and bleak,

Oh, to be Pain and Cancer free, for these are what I seek!

The nights are tough and very black,

making it really hard to hit the sack.

Where money is something I truly lack,

Oh, this endless stress is so hard to hack!

I get steaming angry, where I see red,

every time I hear disabilities are all in your head.

I have turned to the bibles words, for those I have read!

With Gods loving grace, I am lucky that I am not dead!

Surrounded by a glow of white,

to be in the presence of Gods Light!

Awe, what a calming feeling and with all of my Might,

for I am NOT giving up, where I will win this Fight!
