She'd Climb That Mountain
A Poem of Inspiration
They were quick
To see the things
She could not do
Daring to fight
For a life
That they
Could not see
For her.
They saw the
Chair as a
Limitation
Where she knew
It was her freedom.
~~~~~~
Life shouldn’t be
Pointed in impossibilities
Not everything has to
Be done in the same way.
An accident could
Have taken everything
She’d worked for
Had she not seen
The path set before
Her.
~~~~~~
You showed
Others not
Only what
That she
Could climb
That
Mountain
In front of
Her
But that
We could too!
