This poems illustration features 'Hurricane' Hannah Cockrodt OBE,, a Paralympian Wheelchair Racer.  With several Paralympian Gold Medals  and many World Titles and records to her name, she truly is an inspiration to all of us.  May her heart go on singing for many, many years to come

I’m not a shrinking violet Who is happy to Just fade and disappear, I want to take the world By the scruff of the neck And let it know I’m here. I refuse to be restricted By physical boundaries, I want to spread my wings, I’m not content that my Heart is merely beating, I won’t be happy until it sings. In planetary terms Our lives are the mere Blink of an eye, I want my life to be a meteor shower, Not just a wisp of smoke In the evening sky.
