" My Wheelchair Had Wings " by Michele Sutphin Sitting, watching the planes fly through beautiful skies, Make my imagination become real before my eyes, For a moment I wished I could be up there too, Flying anywhere, in these skies of blue, All of a sudden, I felt my wheelchair take flight, I thought I must be dreaming, but it wasn't even night, I pinched myself to make sure, Before I knew it, I was out the door, Off into the skies above I rose, Not exactly the way I would have chose, But taking advantage of my flight, I glanced around and what a vision came into my sight, For on each side were wings of white, I yelled out loud,"this can't be right!", A flock of birds were going by, One stopped on my leg and with a sigh, Thanked me for being right there, He needed a breather, he thanked for my care, Then he looked at me and at my wings, 'Boy I sure wish I could have those things", I could fly faster than the rest, I would be first and always the best, Then he flapped his wings and took off right away, Turning for a moment, saying;"have a good day", Concentrating now on where I should go, My wings started off, as if they did know, What a sight I must be, A girl up in a wheelchair of wings, flying with a disability, Well I told them all, "nothing would keep me down", If they saw me now, how many I would astound, So I suddenly knew I had to fly from my heart, Then the wings gained motion, what a good start, Where I was going was to others like me, Wanting to show what they too could do, even with disability, I came near some children who were sitting outside, I started waving and shouting, not afraid, did I hide, I came ever so close and their smiles came so clear, I told them don't be afraid to try, don't ever fear, Then my heart took me to other places that day, Everywhere there were others, who thought they'd never find a way, But I told them they didn't need a wheelchair with wings, For right there on the ground, God can give many good things, Then I told them of someone who loves them so much, He wants to help you receive His special touch, So much you can receive, God can make you like Eagles, to fly, if you believe, Strong, independent, ready to go out, Reaching others, living a life of real happiness, is what's all about, Then my heart was finished for this day was complete, I had been allowed to travel and reach out from my very seat, If never does my wheelchair sprout wings another day, I can still reach out to others, in my own way.
