A few days ago someone asked me to write a poem for and about her daughter Molly, who has CP, and is having a birthday. She said the poem had to be empowering - so I thought I'd call it :
MOLLY CAN
Molly can
Go
Frolicking
Pink dress
In the wind
Flying through the park
Her wheelchair sends off sparks
Molly can
Talk now
She says
Many words inarow
And makes some up as she goes
Molly can
Feed and dress herself
With a little help
Chocolate pudding goes down fine
But broccoli takes some time
Molly can
So Molly does
And so will Molly grow
Her favorite word is no
Her mommy and daddy say so
Go Molly go!
(Happy Birthday Molly!)

Molly sounds quite jolly.
Happy Birthday, by golly!
Thank you Ruth! This poem is wonderful. Molly's sleeping now but I'll read it to her tomorrow. Yes, she is jolly!
