She Stood Tall, Even When She Could Not Stand At All Poem by Michelle Kidwell
She Stood Tall, Even When She Could Not Stand At All
We are never defeated unless we give up on God. Ronald Regan
She refused to listen
As they said what she
Could not do.
They put constraints on her
With words
Like Spinal Cord Injury
And broken dreams.
She stood strong
In the midst of the storm
Even when she could not stand
At all.
She looked to her faith
And to the God she knew,
The faith that saw her through
She listened
As they tried to
Tear her spirit down
With foreign words
That should have broke her heart
But even when she could not stand
She stood tall.
She would not give
In to the pity or the tears
Instead she searched deeper
And found a stronger place
In her Faith.

I watched him At the gym, Balancing easily On his artificial limbs. He wasn't troubled at all, For he was there to build On what had been given, Making the best of engineering. As he moved about One had to wonder If others could be As accepting as he? He wasn't there To dive deep in despair But to grow stronger by the day As he when along his way. Freedom comes with a price. s
