'A Short Distance... I'll Walk." is a short book of poetry based on various life events. Various trials, difficulties, and joys make up the content of this book. Several poems are focused on disability and its hardships. Many are focused on love and its ups and downs. There are several that also encompass life in general and the highs and lows that come with it. I have included six etiological tales to further show insight into the world and how it came about. The purpose of this book is to help those readers who have chosen it to realize they are not alone. There are others who feel as they do and they too hopefully are reading the very same pages.
