Disability Poems
Acceptance
by Estelle Jackson
Into one moment of consideration
Fly many years of thoughts;
Plans spinning in a whirlpool of
Love, laughter and colourful memories.
From the chaos, fragments of
Forgotten dreams appear.
Small snatches of the past threaten to
Unseat the future.

Realisation (or The Seven Ages of Woman)
by Estelle Jackson
7 years:
Night waking, legs aching.
Bendy thumbs impress my chums.
"Growing pains".
11 years:
Start to feel sharp pain in heel.
Teachers now see I'm failing P.E.
"Achilles Tendonitis".
