Wheelchair Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Wheelchair



He cannot taste the freedom

Of walking once again

The days and nights may come

His legs feel no more pain.

Like a candle melting slowly

His life just ebbs away

And fleeting Hope may swiftly

Leave words he cannot pray.

Illness had brought him there

Imprisoned in his wheelchair

The chains although unseen

Is his permanent affair.

You have really struck a nerve with this one Cynthia. The stark reality for so many in this world. Excellent work, just excellent.
