Seeking knowledge makes for wisdom
Discerning, making (good and sound) judgment
Of good and reputable course
Picturing colors and knowing the difference

I had to know of it
My ability, my abilities
To read and write
To perceive and to understand people

I had to know but I knew not
My ability, my disabilities
What I cannot do, I cannot learn;
I thought impossibility as possible

Oh this life that hates and fears me!
in an event of life and death
There is indeed ability in disability.
