Sitting here in this chair life is just not the same,
Why did this happen to me?
Who do I blame?
So much love around me to help me overcome this,
there were times when I thought,
I just wouldn't make it,
but I fought hard and here I am,
living my life attached to a chair,
I can't walk or dance or move my hands,
but my brain and my spirit got a chance,
I am Me,
when I close my eyes I can watch me dance,
look at me Mom at what I can do,
I'm living my life,
and it's all because of YOU.
