Beatitudes For Friends Of People With Disabilities

Blessed are you who take the time to listen to difficult speech,
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, Myself and You. 

Blessed are you who ask for my help.
For my greatest need is to be needed.

Blessed are you who, with a smile encourage me to try once more. 

Blessed are you who never remind me
That today I ask the same question twice. 

Blessed are you who respect me and love me just as I am.
