No Need to Be Strong

Autonomy is an I can poem, a reminder of all the things we can do because we often forget.

Autonomy – I Can Poem

I can
 walk
 talk
 tie my shoelaces
 cook spaghetti carbonara
 drive and listen to our song
 stitch up the holes in Larry's socks
 buy Mindy ice cream this Tuesday
 dance on the beach 'cause the sand's too hot
 have tea with Granny and listen to her tales
 tackle the weeds in the garden even when I don't want to
 make up a murder mystery in a few minutes
 work out an easy riddle within the hour
 sleep all day
 drink cheap wine and not wince
 discuss world politics and sound smart
 say a prayer and mean it
 laugh at your jokes as long as they're funny
 scrub the floor and make it a bit shiny 
 listen to you and the birds
 pick up the phone 
 hold hands
 stretch a little
 answer
 kiss
 breathe
 eat
 pick a dress
 and a rake of other stuff
 Not bad, don't you think?!
