Impaired

by Dr. Jaipal Singh



They are the ones amongst us People disabled and underprivileged It may exist from birth Or acquired during the lifetime The handicap may occur In any part of the body or mind By an accident or illness Such people may even have Impaired hearing, speech or vision. They don't need ridicule They don't need lip sympathies Instead need some empathy and care Moral support and opportunities To live with dignity and hope. For God's sake, don't be a parasite On their share of funds and resources Realize instead, your honest encouragement To even one impaired soul in a lifetime Could be your significant contribution Towards humanity and humanitarian cause.

Dear Nathmal JI,

I can understand and feel sorry for the kind of pain you and your son have been through all these years. I also know pain of any kind, physical or mental, makes a person tough and brave in life. I wish you and your son be blessed with needful courage and strength to face and overcome this in life.

Regards,
Jaipal Singh

To read the poem I recalled an unforgettable incident.In 1982 my elder son was affected with polio.We wandered all over the cure centres for this disease to get proper treatment.But alas ! All was in vain.The result is that he is still bearing the effects of it.Till now he & I have tolerated too much as you described in above these lines.Thank you very much to create right attitude towards the physically handicapped persons.Again lots of thank.You have so nicely succeeded in your aim to write this poem.
