A poem from Judy about the Cane's perspective
You’re not the only one who’s felt embarrassed to be seen outside walking with me this for many’s always been a part of the whole whole process as together we will train but in time you will realise you’ll soon be proud again I’m made to give you back the things that you may feel you’ve lost like pride and independence all the things that blindness cost I’m not a sign of weakness I’m a reason to be proud alleviate anxiety w hen you are in a crowd Sometimes I’m left behind or folded up inside your hand But I’ll be ready for you I won’t judge I understand I know these feelings natural It’s the way that people stare when you can still see somethings but for blindness you prepare You don’t need to see nothing to be able to use me that’s not the way that blindness works it fades so differently I’m here to be a symbol and signal that you’re strong a reason not to isolate a reason to belong So when you’re feeling ready I’ll be with you day or night unfold me hold me confident and swipe me left to right Eventually you’ll come to terms our partnership remain It’s me and you forever I am your mobility cane
