Handicap People

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Have you ever walked in a handicaps shoes?
                             Each day is a struggle , just to get through.
                             If the people could see them in a different way,
                             Help instead of hinder, or just stay out of their way.

                             They must learn to adjust , not only  to their  habits,
                             But to deal with reticule, prodded like rabbits.
                             They are no different then you or me,
                             Except maybe they cant walk  or maybe cant see.

                             They share feelings that comes from their hearts,
                             Just as you would if a loved one parted.
                             They bleed when cut, they cry when sad,
                             So where is the difference, it makes me so mad.

                             To see normal people treat them so cruel,
                             Goes against Gods golden rule.
                             Bring on to Me your sick and your lame,
                             For they will be cured, and hold no shame.

                             They have worship My name all the days of their life,
                             Never asking for help, never giving up their flight.

Alan, nice perspective. I have friends with disabilities. They ask me, "Who's to say what 'normal' is?" For them, living with their disabilities is normal, yet people treat them so cruelly. I appreciate the message in your poem. I think God has a special place in heaven for those who struggle to overcome the limits imposed by disabilities. Love, Carolyn
