A Beautiful Girl Sat In a Wheelchair With Glasses On

Just today

I seen a beautiful girl with glasses on

Sat outside a pub in a wheelchair

Whilst I out driving passed her 

With what I took as a look of despair

Behind those glasses in her eyes 

And it made me almost want to cry
for her

Knowing not the sense of what she 
must feel like 

And having to face the prospect

Of what she must have to go through

And struggles she must have to

Endure on a daily basis every single day

Bound to a chair 

And what inner strength she must find 

In order to get her through

And although me simply just feeling
sorry for her or pitying her

Will like I driving come to pass

It will still be for her

Her daily coming reality 

Yet again awaiting her

Tomorrow morning

When she wakes up

And has to climb into her wheelchair

In order for her to get around

And all I can do

Is wish her well 

Which isn't really actually going to do her

Or help her out in any way 

I can only just hope and pray 

She doesn't want or need my help

Either

Rather she was just instead

Having a bad day like we all of us do

From time to time 

Probably selfishly so it makes me

Or I can feel somehow better for

Or her behalf
