Hi SABRINA - A beautiful poem from a beautiful lady. Thanks for sharing your story with us it really is 'Una poema do coracao'. The poem has excellent structure and a beuatiful Brazillian rhythm. I love the way you move from I CANNOT in verse one to I CAN in verse three. verses two and four indicate that the transition (from cannot to can) was made with more than a little help from your family - your friends - your lover. These four verses paint a picture of slow and (in your eyes (verses five and six) an incomplete recovery. I am chairman of the disability group at my local Adult Education College our Mission Statement is 'To remove all barriers of access to people with disabilities'. We have many students in wheelchairs and I was encouraged by the resolution in your last two lines. But still I have to deal with it The hard way - in a wheelchair. I hope that by writing poetry in English (which is excellent) you will find the release you are looking for. We all love you - every blessing - I have scored you a MAX for structure - content - excellent use of English. Love in Poetry - JOHN
