Poor Joe

Like the journeyman boxer often down but not counted out
By life poor Joe he has been battered about
A  hit and run driver in his mid twenties condemned him to life in a wheelchair
For some people life can seem very unfair

Forsaken by the woman who was to be his wife
With a crippled man she would not spend her life
Now in his mid forties living on his own
Of the down sides of life he is one who has known

On his electrical wheelchair on the flags of the street
He greets with a smile everyone he does meet
Not bitter with life in any sort of a way
He is an inspiring fellow of him one can say

Due to a hit and run driver he has been through suffering and pain
But Joe of his lot in life never complain
To have to live life as he does none would wish to or desire
But in him there is a whole pile to admire.
