They Just Adjust : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

They must accept their handicap

and show the world they can ,.


do the normal things each day

even if they cannot stand .

 

Some cannot hold a pen

 but they can write and paint ok ,


using their feet or mouth ,

their special talent finds a way .

 

They must adjust to things they have

and not to things they've lost ,


They always count their blessings  ,

but they never pay the cost .

 

Their feats are superhuman

yet just normal things to them  .


Like the man who signs his name

with a  foot that holds his pen .

 

A picture painted by

the artists mouth that held the brush ,


how beautiful it is ,

at times some things you just can't rush .

 

When they adapt to their handicap

 they have common ground  ,


to make the world see life through

 the medium they have found .
