Linda


Linda

Linda, so peaceful, so shy.
She sits and watches,












trying to learn,
trying to speak,
trying to walk.
Trapped inside a body
that just won't move.
She cries inside herself
wishing she was "real"
She wishes she could
run and dance like the other girls her age.
She silently swears,
"What did I do to deserve this?"
All these thoughts
race around and around
inside her head
as she sits, staring,
wondering why
and asking God in vain,
"Why dear God, why me?"
