Cross Shield (Abilities Rise Over Disabilities)
This all telling poem tells that people with disability's do have ability's
Dear father
the words they say can’t be ridden out of my brainthe pain, they inflict they hurt
and I try to open my cage
but every time the key, they remind meIt’s locked away- far away from me
but you see even how hard
you wanna stop me
you cant stop the
miracle of God
I know I cant change the past or the future
life is a circle
and if you leave one foot off the gas just for one minute
it’s gone in a second
all that work you put in could be
washed away in a moment
not realizing it until its too late and then the critics will say
that's why people with disabilities can’t make it
but its not too late for anyone to change if your still livingand breathing that's why I'm writing
I'm not defeated nor are you
I am a different breed that you are too
I will revitalize my vision from darkness
Ill walk this narrow edge to greatness you can too
just follow me
I was so puppeteered
for so many years people began to see me as a clown in the distance, I was there amusement
I say I do not want to be this anymore
but I couldn't figure out a difference until now,
I was done being looked at as a ghost,
there was a reason God sent me down with a voice and a mind of a poet
to roar like a lion
to bring life to people going though a rough-rough time
protect me Cross Shield
give me strength when I kneel and
make me feel Gods power racing through me while I write these words of poetry
I wont be overlooked anymore so don’t mess with me
If you don’t want to be dropped
In the most Christian way,
I will not be stopped
stop saying I will tumble
I wont ever fumble this metaphorically speaking football
eventually you all will hear my voice
my vision
someday will come true
but until that day I gotta rest, take time to breath, live and love what I am today because the present day is all we got
the future is not promised (at all)
so that's why God with every second of the day we believe in any dream that you plant in us,
that comes through our mindand every time you open that cage
even if sometimes I feel like I should be lockedaway you find me in a broken place
you offer me a new fate
because you say
the things that you should do I will turn them into what you need to proveto the people that you are writing for
to show them that all of you with disabilitieshave Ability's, tell them I didn't send them down here with no crunch,for I know Beacon Hill
is not perfect neither are you
but it takes a committed few,
a stronger spirit
to take on something life altering
that some people wont ever get but
You don't ever forget
abilities rise over disabilities
every time
