                 LOOK AT ME

                 By: Kari A. Harrington



    When some people look at me,

     

     

     

    When some people look at me,

    They see a girl in a wheelchair.

    I can tell what they are saying.

    They’re saying, “That girl can’t walk”.

     

    Look at me, look inside of me.

    I’m moving in a special way.

    Without this special chair,

    I wouldn’t be moving at all.

    I can walk with a person behind me.

    Inside of me, I’m walking.

     

    When people see one had working,

    They only see a very few of the things I can do.

    They’re saying, “She can’t do much with one hand”.

     

    Look at me, look inside of me.

    I always try something new.

    I do things in my own special way.

    You’d be surprised what I can do.

    I can do a lot of things

    That you can’t do.

    Inside of me I can do everything.

     

    When some people hear me talk,

    They don’t understand a word.

    I can tell they’re saying,

    “That girl cannot be understood”.

     

    Look at me, look inside of me.

    I can talk.

    You just have to take the time.

    I can talk in so many ways.

    Whichever way I use to talk to you

    It will be fun.

    Inside of me, I can go on talking forever.

     

    Most of all, I look at myself

    As the way God made me.

    I see that I am lucky

    That I’m this special person.

    Inside of me, I believe in myself.
