Your Disability won't stop you
Your disability won't cripple you
There is so much power in you
You're just different, unique
differently-able you see
not less than, oh no
but powerful, mighty
your blindness, sickness, cancer, deafness, mobility issues,
Autism, Lupus, Bipolar Disorder, Depression
there is no stigma, there is no shame
your strength will save the day
never invisible
but visible, your light will ignite the day
you will change the world with your story
always remember, you're different because you're unique
not many people can walk in your shoes
so hold your head up high, many people crave strength like you
although your wheelchair or limp may be the first thing they see
but know your mobility tools don't define you- YOU DEFINE YOU QUEEN
I can only image how hard it can be
but I want you to know I see strength in your disability
always realize
the power in your
disability

Hello Stacie,
Yours is a thoughtful, inclusive poem. I like how you considered other invisible factors that able people different, such as physical frailty from illness or poor mental health. It is educational from that stand point, because not many people think that way. Thank you for sharing. Stay champion.
Thank you so much Nini for your encouragement
Stacie I just wanted to say "Thank You", for this heart felt and well written poem. Having a disability can become very frustrating and aggravating at times. Especially those few seconds that come every now and again when one forgets that they simply can't do what had become second nature over the years.
Stacie I used to love running! At night when it was cool and the streets were empty was my favorite time.
Now, sometimes I wake up and it's automatic, I turn to get up and go but then it hits me hard when I realize I can't, anymore.
Run that is, however, my second great love/hobby was biking. It has not been easy at all but I've had to retrain myself to ride again and I love it! Now I'm up to 5 Miles A Day, 5 Days A Week!
Please forgive the "long letter" I just wrote, but I had to let You know just how much your words mean to not only myself, but to anyone with a disability. Thanks for your Empathy.
Hi Bobby,
Your story inspires me greatly. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that but I know God has a plan and a purpose for your life! That is awesome you have been biking! God is so good! I know you will regain strength every day. If you feel comfortable, maybe you could write another long letter (lol) sharing your story on my blog (http://www.staciecherill.com/) If you want just email me - [email protected]
Hi Bobby, you are an inspiration. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You may have some down days but its all part of getting ahead. Stay focused.
Its amazing how people look at disabilities as set backs. What a disabled person can do can sometimes be so shocking. I always tell people that Its in disability that true strength and talent come alive. I salute all disabled persons from the heart. They teach me that, its not about what you body can't do, its about what your mind can conceive to achieve. Thanks so much Stacie, this is solid.
I am inspired,thank you for sharing
Yes very true, Disability does not and should not
define anyone and our daily interactions
our competencies should define us
keep it up
Celebrate you
Please follow back
Hi Stacie,
I love that you name many disabilities, and call out about the strength of so many living daily with them. I especially love this line: "you will change the world with your story".
