We're PWIPs* A PWIP has a different perspective on life (S)He doesn't take walking, talking, eating, sleeping For granted. Except perhaps that you take nothing For granted. Except the strange looks, stares and gawks You get from ignorant people. A mother says to her small Child: "I don't know, dear. (S)He's probably drunk or on Drugs. Lets cross the street. Then he won't bother you." The child wasn't bothered, merely curious. It's the mother That was bothered, out of ignorance. Moms and Dads have To be made aware that we are PWIPs, neither street people nor Homeless and mentally ill. PD may impoverish us but it doesn't Kill our spirit. It frees our minds, no matter how constrained We may be physically, to soar like an eagle *PWIP = Person With Ideopathic Parkinson's
