FOR FRIENDS OF THE HANDICAPPED

Blessed are you who take the time to listen to difficult speech

For you help me to know that if I persevere,

I can be understood.

Blessed are you who never bid me to "hurry up"

Or take my tasks from me and do them for me,

For I often need time rather than help.

Blessed are you who stand beside me as I enter new and untried

ventures,

For my failures will be outweighed

By the times I surprise myself and you.

Blessed are you who asked for my help,

For my greatest need is to be needed.

Blessed are you who understand that

It is difficult for me

To put my thoughts into words.

Blessed are you who with a smile,

Encourage me to try once more.

Blessed are you who never remind me

That today I asked the same question twice.

Blessed are you who respect me

And love me just as I am.
