Disabilities

Invisible!

I am invisible to the world in which I live. Sometimes I feel that I am invisible to the people around me.

To be invisible means to be unseen, to be unheard by people and sometimes even by your own world.

When one has a Disability as I do, it is very easy to feel invisible to the people around you.

Feeling invisible is a hard feeling to go through, feeling invisible is a hard thing to do.

So, if you are ever feeling invisible please don’t come to me, because I don’t know what to do.

If no one has been able to help me when I am feeling invisible, then how in world can, I help you when you feel as invisible, as I do.

Love

by Megan Baker

I met you at school

You were there when I needed you

You were there when I fell

All the darkness seemed to fade away

Since you walked into my life

You never went away

I see your eyes

They shift as I come near

Everything else disappears

You were there to comfort me

Thoughts of you didn’t go away

Until I fell asleep

Chorus: You take away my soul

              And you make me feel

              Good inside, I’m tryin to hide

              My love for you

  My passion, it grows

  Deep inside of my soul

  I feel nothing will ever hurt me

  With you by my side

  To hold, to love

  Until I get old

  Lying next to you

  Feeling the rain drops

  Seein you pass by

  Is what we should cherish

  And not take in vain

  Even though love can cause you pain

Chorus (x3)

Good inside, I’m tryin to hide

My love for you

For you

I’m Thankful

by Megan Baker

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on your life

To reflect on your past

And on your future

I’m thankful for many things

I’m thankful I have a home

And don’t live on the streets

That I have family and friends that love me

When other’s don’t

I’m thankful I’m fortunate enough

To not live in poverty

And I’m thankful

I can help those that do

I’m thankful I’m healthy

When millions die every day

I’m thankful for many things

But, most of all

I’m thankful I’m alive

I'm Able

My means of movement

Are by wheelchair

And pushing my self around

Makes sweat drip from my hair.

I have talents wide and varied.

My knowledge and intelligence are sound.

I’m bilingual, French and English speaking

And I’m fun to be around.

Hockey is my passion,

It’s more then just a game.

My greatest motivation is to play

Hockey once again.

God is my source of comfort.

On him I can rely.

I’ll forever follow his example,

Until the day I die.
