harry hayes Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 This is a poem by Ann Rutherford. Not the worlds best writing, but it struck a chord with me. A lesson for us all perhaps. Don't know the title. Although I'm in a wheel-chair, I can hear and see; So, when you have something to say - Say it to me. Don't ask the wheel-chair pusher, If I'd like a cup of tea; I'm in charge of such affairs - Talk to me. Don't speak words above my head, Bend down by my side; I have so few things left to me - Leave me my pride. I prefer to have eye contact, Than staring at your knee; So, if you have a smile to spare - Give it to me. ------------------------ Happy days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Very true Harry. Disabled seem to be off most people's radar, and it is amazing how ignorant and rude people able-bodied are when shopping. They obviously haven't heard the saying: "There but for the grace of God, go I". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
