Handicap

Tribute to successful persons with disability

Life is neither poem nor prose
Life  is neither poppy nor rose

It may be smooth or harsh
Like pleasant breeze or burning brush

Everyone has to face the reality
With passion,commitment and ability

Perfect person may not win the prize
While a handicap may give surprise

Dream,devotion and drive for goal
May make one honored and successful

I greet challenged persons from my heart
You have conquered through your art

Your success is a lesson for us all
You will always shine and never fall

They should all the more be celebrated for making it in such a harsh, difficult world. Those who were lucky enough to make it and those who were not...they all deserve our love, respect and regard. Great and noble thoughts from you Zainul sir. My compliments.

Nothing is all black or all white. A handicap in one area can sometimes actually help a person thrive in an another area. Your words are wise and filled with compassion. Well written. LydI**

This poem touches my heart! I was a special ed teacher for almost 30 years. I always felt that my students taught me more about life and myself than anything else. Excellent write!

[zainul]

Your review has immensely inspired me.
I must appreciate your acknowledgement that you were taught by your students.
Such acknowledgement can only be made a teacher who is highly developed spiritually and intellectually.
I adore you,dear poet.
