Beyond Disability

Beyond what the world calls disability, I see courage. I see a strong will, A mind unshaken, A light that shines brighter than the rest.

I see beauty Not just in your smile, But in the soul that carries it.

They may whisper “burden” when they see you, But I see a blessing. For you are a child like any other You cry when hurt, You laugh when joy arrives, You marvel when the world shows its wonders.

Each time I see you, Your smile speaks louder than words. To them, you may be silent, But to me, every thought, every dream, Every unspoken word Echoes clearly in my heart.

I see hope wrapped in your being. I see a warrior clothed in innocence.

You are beyond disability. You are light, You are strength,

The smiles you put on our faces Tell the world who you truly are.
