She Walks Tall

A poem of hope and courage that Sarala had penned keeping in mind the World Disability Day on December 3, earlier this month, in Different Truths. 

She is all of four feet ten 

But walks tall at six feet ten 

Holding her head high 

With a twinkle in her eyes 

She fears none and 

She has no foe 

She walks with a 

Lighted candle 

When she walks through 

The slums and feeding many 

She angers at people 

Who cares not for poor? 

Her trembling hands 

And feet know 

How she copes up 

With her lifelong friend 

Parkinson’s 

She stumbles and stutters 

Shakes and quivers 

But never gives up 

Hope in her heart!

She is not scared 

Of the dark nights 

And the hooting of the owl 

She is strong enough 

As she has trust in her Lord!

She is a great friend

To all suffering and lonely

And she wants to 

Console the disabled around 

Through the divine light

Shining bright from her heart!
