Handicap

Tribute to successful persons with disability

Life is neither poem nor prose
Life  is neither poppy nor rose

It may be smooth or harsh
Like pleasant breeze or burning brush

Everyone has to face the reality
With passion,commitment and ability

Perfect person may not win the prize
While a handicap may give surprise

Dream,devotion and drive for goal
May make one honored and successful

I greet challenged persons from my heart
You have conquered through your art

Your success is a lesson for us all
You will always shine and never fall

They should all the more be celebrated for making it in such a harsh, difficult world. Those who were lucky enough to make it and those who were not...they all deserve our love, respect and regard. Great and noble thoughts from you Zainul sir. My compliments.

Such a well written poem. Very creative and I so like the theme of the poem. Life is harder for the handicapped in so many ways. Encouragement and help should be given to them and to all to go forth in the world and seek out your dreams. Fantastic poem!

You have correctly pointed out that life is harder for the handicapped in so many ways.
They really need encouragement and help.All people without any disability should extend their support to the handicapped ones.

Hi zainul. A beautiful write and message. Well crafted free style metered rhyming couplets which I enjoy. Lovely imagery and descriptives. Flow is good; line to line transition and breaks are done well. Nice rhythm and use of enjambment. Nice use of simile. Rhyme is good. Good depth of feeling; encouraging and uplifting. Nice use of repetition for emphasis of feeling. Good closing lines. Well penned and an enjoyable read. Write on!

I missed the adding of this, my friend and I am sorry. :(

The beauty in your writes comes from the light that shines brightly inside you. Always you are giving a little here and there of it to shine upon another.

As others have said, we are all handicapped in our ways.There are so many with major disabilities of one type or another that refuse to give up or give in. They deserve nothing less than our respect for that.

Wonderful piece. :)

[zainul]

Dear friend,you need not be sorry for inadvertently missing the piece.
Yes,I agree with you and all others that we are all handicapped in our ways.
We have great respect for those who strive hard to win despite disabilities.
