Disabled Joy
March 6, 2019
Smile, laugh, instead of taking the numbness
Picking out flowers that remind you of your youth
Where the sun shines, sun shines
When beaches crowded with your cousins and you could swim freely
You can still swim
You can still walk, timing your mile
Run, running, a running brain you still have
Read the book I give you with the change I had left
You can still read
Your pills, your numbness, like candy to your body even though you shouldn’t eat candy
Smile
Laugh
You can still do it, at 55 and blooming

This poem is about my father, that has been setback because of his disibilities. He is still an intelligent man and has other qualitites that you simply must remind him about. I care a lot about him and my family.
