A poem about my new Wheelchair

Wheelchair My wheelchair is as Comfortable as a feather Moves fast like a track star A speedy purple grape Gives me power… To move To explore To go far Gives me Independence To go places by myself To make lunch To be on my own To hangout with friends Gives me Freedom To be without a helper To travel To take care of myself and pets To be me We hope you enjoyed this poem.

welcome

Hi, my name is Kaelie and I'm a twenty-year-old girl Who has physical disabilities there for I use a wheelchair to get around and because of that I can't pick things up off the floor so five years ago I got my service dog. His name is Levi he is a six-year-old red golden retriever. I live with my mom in Iowa in the USA. My parents are split up, so I go in between them with Levi, but we mainly stay with my mom.
