Most of you already know I make and sell crosses at local events. These events are fun, especially when I get to meet interesting people who share with me their life stories. Recently I attended an event for a group of people whom use wheelchairs. I would never be rude and ask why they use the wheelchair; however, I felt honored most wanted to share their story with me. One shared they were in an automobile accident, the other military accident, and one shared they had been in the wheelchair since birth. The most interesting person I met that day was a lovely middle-aged woman who was very easy to talk too. She told me she loved Karate, so much she wrote a book. Hearing her story gave me the inspiration for this poem. Hope you like it.

The Wheelchair

Just because I’m in a wheelchair

Don’t feel sorry for me

It’s where the good Lord put me

That’s where I need to be

I don’t question what happened

My faith is still in Him

Even though Doctors told me

My chance for recovery is thin

Doctors don’t know all the answers

Miracles happen all the time

As long as I keep hope in Jesus

One of those miracles will be mine

I’ll just keep on praying

My prayers will not be in vain

With God’s healing hands

One day, I will walk again
