Have you ever thought of life in which
  to a wheelchair you're confined?
Your life would now, somehow, forever
  be defined.
Your limbs would all be useless
  never to move again.
Your old life, would now be over,
  your new life to begin.
You may never be able to imagine this
  but I have met a few.
And I know one particular one
  who's stronger than me and you.
His life was changed by one incident
  but stop him it did not.
I've watched him over the years
  and he has taught me a lot.
So never think of them as handicapped
  because they are as capable as you.
And even though they may not walk,
  they are people too.
