I had this moment happen to me while wheeling through the park to my car after volunteering at Parkrun this morning.
Is this really my life?
Pushing myself along
On wheels not legs
Leg is gone
Is this really my life?
Restricted by aids
Millions of things to think
Life, gone in a blink
Is this really my life?
Bureaucracy in charge
So much I can’t do
I don’t chose, so who?
Is this really my life?
Changed for ever
So much on life’s plan
I hope I still can.
