Can You Be Proud of Me Now

I can't join the military for my disabilities won't let me,but I can help free 
       up some of the pain by advocateing for the veterans rights and help people to welcome 
       them home honorably.

                  I can't play pro basketball or football or even hockey for that matter but I
       can valiantly be their biggest fan and cheer them on to victories;oh yeah I can play a mean 
       game of wheelchair basketball.

                  But hey Mom, Dad, community "Are you still happy and proud of me?


                  I may not me able to be the next US President,congressman or congress-
        woman,but hey I may be your senator or town mayor fighting for your equal rights.

     
        
               I may not be able to stand and say the pledge of alligence like everyone else
        But I'll be proudly front and center the first to remove my hat and speaking the  
        allegence with my hands as fast as they'll go.

               
               But hey Mom,Dad, and community are you still happy and proud of me now!


               I may not be in the world olympics skiing and skateing,what such but I am 
       first place in bowling, swimming and I may be slow but its all for Special Olympics,
       we really have some time on our hands do you want to talk some more,or just give  
       a chance.

                Again I ask hey Mom, Dad, community, really still proud of me now.
