She

THERE SHE GOES ….

A Poem by Donna Giles

She moves ahead, meandering along the path.

I see her head above the headrest.

Woolly hat moving, no veering off the track.

I watch the big wheels that are propelling her along.

Her hand on the golf ball, pushing it forward – the action taking her the direction she wants to go.

Her confidence in knowing a route never driven before makes me smile in awe.

Fills me with wonder.

It’s a hard decision – full time wheelchair user – but the right one.

Destination reached.

Hot chocolate demanded.

Laughter as we all sit.

Independent Togetherness
