SPECIAL SON'S FREEDOM

Gripped with freedom gear Driving well, sans fear Our son whirls in joyous spree Quelling my heart’s shout Smiting mother's doubt... He champions victor’s glee! In special wheelchair There he zooms with flair Gesturing triumphant sign… Oh, we feel so blest Since his spastic pest Makes us gain God's grace* divine. *2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

By God's grace you can look at your special son's ability to move on a wheel chair and rejoice and see his spastic condition as a blessing, while many see it as trying and painful. It is a question of attitude. May God bless you and your family and protect your son from all dangers! I see a mother's joy and pride in this poem.....a lovely 'celebration' of your son's shortcoming! Congratulations, dear Beata.

Its good that you see his wheelchair as a ticket to freedom, because other people would see that and cry "victim." Its a positive attitude that makes all the difference.
