Limited

Limited

To the heavy world whispering

Ugly words on my shoulder:

I cannot be what you want

I can only be me

So…Limited

There are no guarantees

Health disappears in an instant

My fingers cannot keep it from slipping away

Pain rules many days, familiar Tyrant

Making the most of Good days

Still leaves me Lacking

I cannot Plan, nor Count On myself

I am not an Income Machine

So you make me feel Useless

I have given my life Freely

For mine was also a gift

My children are thankful, maybe others,

But you turn up your nose and say,

“Foolish. Stupid. Lazy. Poor. All your fault.”

Dare I turn and reply, “Selfish!” to what you wanted,

Me to live only for me, to earn your “Respect?”

I chose the path to which I was Called

I followed the Will of the Unlimited

Shut your mouth and get out of my mind!

Every time there is a problem,

Do not spew your nonsense and make me

Rue my very Life!  I am not perfect,

But I still belong to the Unlimited

And will listen to His call

As I stumble and reach for His Vision

I will do what He makes Possible

For He will take me Past my Obstacles

Limited only by His Will for me

And there is nothing you can do to stop Him
