            Able

                        By Patrick Olson

Though I may be blind,

I have a great mind,

Though I am disabled,

I am still quite able,

Though I cannot see,

Things are very clear to me,

I am just as able,

As the nondisabled,

Though I do not drive,

I am just hitting my strive,



A person with a disability,

Is judged to have an incapability,

Though only my sight has an effect,

 People think it includes my intellect,

No matter what one may say,

Mothing is getting in my pathway,



Able are we,

The disabled as you see,

Working within our limitations,

Breaking through the public’s expectations,

So open the gates to all that are able,

This is not a fable,

Trust in the words of one blind man,

That the enabled are taking a stand,

We have the right,

So treat us for our might,

No disability will stand in our way,

For we live in the U.S.A.
