My Legs (Poem)

MY LEGS



Some people may not understand
When they see me in my chair
They look at me with pity
They try hard not to stare
I want to remind them that
My legs are a part of me
There is far more to them
Than simply what they see
My legs are like yours
They both have thighs and knees
They’re everywhere I go
They take me where I please
Sometimes they struggle
But they’re up for the task
They’re willing to do anything
Whatever I ask
First one, then the other
My legs do well
When they’re working together
They take me everywhere
Amusement parks
Even grocery stores
My legs are special
Just like yours
I wouldn’t trade them
They’re what I’ve got
My legs are me
And that’s a lot
They may need the help of special braces
When they’re out taking me different places
But they’re getting stronger
Every step I take
There are no limits
To the strides I’ll take
So when you see me walking
It’s ok to smile
Even if I’m sitting
I’m doing it in style
Just make sure you remember
My legs are two of a kind
And I love my beautiful legs
Just because they’re mine
