> The cerebral palsy lady=20
> Is a very dear friend of mine,
> With eyes that sparkle and dance
> And a smile that fills the room.
>
> Her eyes are dark and mysterious,=20
> No words need she say
> Her spirit touches me and=20
> Her warm hands caress me=20
> in my troubled times. =20
>
> She's a mountain climber,
> A protest marcher,
> A whirling dancer,
> A loving mother=E2=80=A6
>
> Even though her body shakes and twists=20
> And her words don't come out so clearly,
> Nothing's going to stop this lady
> From living her dreams, living her life.
>
> "Please see beyond this body
> and look deep inside my soul,
> love me as I am,=20
> or love me not at all."
> So sings the Cerebral Palsy lady
> On a cold rainy day.
>
> The Cerebral Palsy lady=20
> Is looking for somebody,=20
> Yes she's looking for somebody=20
> Somebody to love,
> Somebody who can love her
> Just the way she is.

> The Cerebral Palsy lady loves=20
> to kiss and hug,
> and she can do everything else
> that other women do=E2=80=A6=20
> (like screw)

> Laughter comes so easily=20
> To the Cerebral Palsy lady
> She's kind and sensitive,
