Wheelchair Man

As I ride
I want to take you
to the far side
though me and you
stayed in the same place
looking for my fortune
let me grew out of touch
aint flashed a smile
for a long while
to concerned of how
I gonna provide for my family
my thoughts takes me back
of who can I trust in this cold world
as I roll I grew of a strong will
rolling uphill I battle on
even though it’s a long month
I tag along
it’s the last day now
it shouldn’t be long now
before I can see smiles
on my wife and three girls faces
payday is here
my baby girl tug at me with a smile
with the sight of luxury
makes me wish the moment
can stay a little while
tomorrow is back to normal
back at work so stiff and formal…

Hi Matt, Ilike this work of yours. I came out of the army in the 70's disabled with an injured spine. Before the surgeon operated he told us that I could end up in a wheelchasir for life. I thought about our future and how we would cope , but it turned out we had no worries. You invoked memories my man. God Bless. D.
