When I left home for WWRC, I said good-bye, With the belief that I’d soon die. But when I got there I began to see, How so many people were much worse than me. I saw people in wheelchairs and one that was blind, And many disabilities of every kind. I saw people using canes to be able to walk, And people using sign language to be able to talk. I saw people paralyzed in many a way, And people struggling to live another day. I saw people without legs and one without an arm, And people just trying to get along, doing no one harm. I saw people that were slow, but trying to learn, And people wanting GED’s they eventually will earn. I saw people without hands and some without feet, And some having to struggle just to eat. I saw people that were doomed to die, learning to live, And people with nothing, learning to give. I saw many miracles and now I believe, That I’ll now be able to fully achieve. I went up there when I was down, And now things are beginning to turn around. Thank you WWRC for showing me I can win, And I can start living life to the fullest again.
