Beyond The Wheelchair

She rolls in, you speak to the person she's with, but

to her you say nothing and stare
She says hello, dead silence answers
Why is she not worth the two seconds
it would take you to respond?
Yes she can talk so don't be afraid to hold a conversation with her

If she didn't respond to your questions because
you were different: would you not feel ignored?
If you have questions why not ask?
She won't be offended
that's a promise she can make here and now

Have you ever seen a wheelchair before?
To her the wheelchair is just one small part of many
unique parts that make her who she is
If you can look beyond the wheelchair
you'll see a woman who has a huge heart and
isn't afraid to share it
You'll see that her mission in life is to
teach you that differences aren't meant to be feared
Instead, differences are meant to be embraced
