Merry Disabled Christmas 2018

A christmas tree.

2010 was an eventful year for me, and I commemorated it with this Christmas poem.

Merry Disabled Christmas 
 

This year I endured disabled surgery
And read disabled books
I contributed to a disabled charity
And thwarted disabled crooks

I sailed on a disabled cruise
And piloted my disabled iBot
I sat for disabled interviews
And the good disabled fight, I fought

I starved myself on a disabled diet
And took a disabled shot at a deer
I appreciated nature, and disabled quiet
And quaffed many a disabled beer

I hand-peddled my disabled bike
And hand-drove my disabled van
I spent disabled time with people I like
And I was a loyal, disabled, sports fan

I spent too much money on disabled wheelchair parts
And I made many a disabled friend
I touched a few disabled hearts
And a thousand disabled emails, I did send

It’s not that life is unfair
As you know, I’m not one to complain
You play the cards that are dealt you
If you live in the jungle, you better enjoy the rain

So during this holiday season
I urge you to seek out contentment
Don’t spend time searching for a reason
To feel self-pity, jealousy, or resentment

I’ll end my cryptic verse right here
And offer this sentiment to those most dear
I wish you a Merry Disabled Christmas
And a Happy Disabled New Year!

  3. This is what I love about you and about Enjoying the Ride- you dobt waste time wondering why me, you just solve the problem. My husband passed away from cancer but with his PPMS once we started “solving the problem” we were on a new adventure. We got a modified Segway so he could get on the beach again, the VA modified a van so we didnt have to watch the powerchair bouncing and swaying on a rack on the back of the truck…It’s all about who you are and how you respond and you are golden

  4. You are a poet too! I enjoyed your book. I laughed, I cried and I laughed some more. You truly are a great guy. I always have known that. You don’t get it, but I am going to God Bless you anyway. 😊 Hugs to you, Kim and family.

  5. Cute poem. Like it. Merry Christmas to you and family. Also, A Happy New Year!
    Love, Wayne & Gail
