Friends of the Handicapped
To listen to difficult speech,
For you help me to know that
if I persevere,
I can be understood.
Blessed are you who never bid me to hurry up
or take many tasks from me
For my failures will be outweighed
By the times I surprise myself and you
Blessed are you who asks for my help
For my greatest need is to be needed.
Blessed are you who understand that it is
difficult for me to put thoughts into words.
Blessed are you who with a smile encourage
me to try once more.
Blessed are you who never remind me that today
I asks the same questions twice,
Blessed are you who respect me and love me
just as I am.
