I often find myself asking the question,
Is there truly such a thing as a disability?
Perhaps Ill never know what its like
to climb a mountain,
or run a marathon.
But there are so many things I can accomplish
in my precious time on Earth.
I may never experience the pleasures
of running, jumping and
tumbling in play.
But I will always appreciate life, and delight in
the experiences of living with supreme joy.
Although my body is somewhat frail,
my bones brittle,
my muscles weak.
I possess a spirit with sinews of steel, and I grasp
onto life with an unquenchable desire.
Yes, there is much Ill never achieve,
physical activities in which Ill never succeed,
aspects of life Im never to see.
But Ill always believe that in life I can fly, because
when you believe in yourself no goals too high.
