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.

A very touching and uplifting piece. Some lines resonated deeply, many words of wisdom are present here and you end of a very beautiful note:

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

It's something we all need to keep in mind during tough times. Good job.

I spent quite some time working with individuals that had developmental or physical handicaps and they were some of the most inspiring people I've ever met. You capture some of their essence here and I really liked it. :)

[zainul]

I am very happy to learn that you practically worked with individuals that had developmental or physical handicaps.I will learn from your experience and try to share the important information for the benefit of the individuals with disability and their care givers.
Thanks for the great gesture.
