Special Children: A poem by Shreya Pandey

 Proximity to perfection, humans can never draw

Then why this different perspective for some children's special flaws

They might look limbless

 But in their minds, they have crossed

The Sahara the Himalayas, the English channel, and Great walls

They sprint to the horizon

Where the blind bask under the Sun

Absorbing all the photons for a purpose rather than fun

While some are fearless enough

To Design their own world beyond four walls

Blessed with millions of attributes but cursed with only some

Determination, feelings, willpower make them complete

Then why those pitiful glances which they really don't need

Let's all pledge with generations coming forth

To never create a situation

When the limbless feel frustrated to walk

Or the blind experience, our pitiful glares

Let's empower them to leave behind their flaws and defeat

After all, it's our eyes which make them feel incomplete.
