A poem about disability


Standing back looking into the city

Seeing where I came from and I where I played

A memory for me

A long, long time ago now

Looking into the endless motion

The flow of people and traffic

If you get close enough

You can be swept away

Like a piece of driftwood

Caught in a tide

    Absolutely! Reflect on it but don’t go back there – take heed! Go forward! Go on to live, indeed! God bless you Lucy! We can go on, I believe you see that now. I am so glad to take the time and read your earlier work and to enjoy your portrayal from where you are now! Be blessed to have come thus far!

    Thanks for this Lucy. I understand the need to step back and look at all we overcame. A beautiful piece of poetry. But that is nothing new for you. All your work is beautiful masterpieces
