A Poem By Deion
Friday, 3 July 2009
Deion goes to Perrymount school, they had the kids writing poetry, each line the first of a school letter. This was too excellent not to share.
Playing with my friends
Even in a wheelchair
Running walking,
Really doesn't matter
You are just like me
Me, I'm just like you
Only difference is I'M FASTER!!
Unity through disability
No different from my friends
Thats what my school teaches me.
Made me laugh and cry at the same time...and its so much better than his last poem, which was
"Beans, beans good for the heart, the more you eat, the more you fart!!!!!"

That's awesome!!!
And my brothers sang the 'beans' song on a daily basis (some of them still do)...it's a boy thing.

That is just so beautiful.
Deion is going to go such a long way in life.
Thanks for sharing.

This is very profound for such a young man, but so many times the profound comes from the innocent. Thank you for sharing.
As to the beans, sounds like my hubby and his brothers...finished
'let's eat beans at every meal'.
