Much More

You stare at her,
But you just don’t understand,
What it’s really like,
To need a helping hand.

There’s more to her,
Than the disability,
Look a bit deeper,
To what you can’t see.

She’s not stupid,
Appearances can deceive,
But the ignorant,
Are the ones who believe.

She’s still human
With a personality,
And a caring heart,
Just like you and me…
