HANDICAPS ARE LARGELY WHAT WE MAKE OF THEM

 
My back aches.
 
John F. Kennedy
Managed the most powerful government in the world,
While threatened with the war
That could have ended human civilization.
He suffered from Addison's disease,
And damaged bones:
He was in constant pain all his adult life.
 
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Managed the most powerful government in the world,
While paralysed with polio.
From his wheel chair,
He managed World War II
 
My back aches.
 
I'll manage.
