If I could, I would wish away my handicap
Cerebral Palsy makes it hard to perform tasks
Normal activities that others take for granted
Often present many problems and challenges

If I could only make my right side strong
Life would be different, and not so hard
Driving anywhere, anytime could become a breeze
And, cooking meals would not be considered a chore

If I could use some proper household tools
My hair would not be so hard to manage
Outside work would become a snap
And, I could help my family more

But, as I ‘ve learned , this world is full of struggles
Although, disability has become an accepted word
Through constant family love and support
It is something I have striven to overcom
