My New Set of Wheels
There
you stand, and I see you stare
Thinking, poor
dear, she's stuck in that chair.
But I'm not sad,
I'm very happy because
I haven't forgotten
the way it was.
You'd
say, "How about a trip to the zoo?
A walk in the park
would be good for you."
I was thinking
tomorrow, I'll be a wreck,
From my aching
feet, to the pain in my neck.
You'd
want to go shopping, all over town,
I was thinking but
there's no place to sit down.
For you it's a
snap, just to go to the store,
But for me the
ordeal was more of a chore.
Now
I can go wherever I please
I can shop in the
mall with newfound ease,
Do all the things
that have to be done,
And even go out and
have some fun.
So,
do you want to know how it really feels,
To be sitting here
between these wheels?
Can you remember
back that far,
When you got your
very first car?
Well,
that's how these wheels feel to me,
They don't hold me
down, they set me free.
So, don't think all
those pitiful things:
These aren't
wheels, I think they're my wings.
