Persistence
9 March, 2004
Author: Barbara Goodhew
I thought I became disabled because
I deserved it as punishment.
My treatment of my adopted mother,
my treatment of my marriage put
some in astonishment.
Now I realize I became disabled
to show others there is hope.
Determination and persistence
have been my assistances.
I feel blessed now,I was given
the chance to find out what I love to do.
Determination and persistence was a gift.
Accepting what has happened is my reward.
