Lucy & Tim—a Wheelchair Affair

There was a man named Tim, so kind and true,
Who had a dog named Lucy, with a wheelchair brand new.
Lucy could run and fetch, in her chair with wheels,
But Tim loved her so much, he'd catch her if she squeals.

Together they'd go on walks, with Lucy in her chair,
And Tim would sing her songs, with the wind in their hair.
Lucy's wagging tail would show her joy,
As they explored the world, a girl and her boy.

People would stare, as they passed on the street,
But Tim and Lucy didn't care, their bond couldn't be beat.
Lucy may have been disabled, but her spirit was strong,
And Tim's love for her would carry them along.

They'd visit schools and hospitals, spreading love and cheer,
Lucy's smile was contagious, she brought hope so near.
Tim knew Lucy was special, an inspiration to all,
And through her struggles, they learned to stand tall.

So if you see Tim and Lucy, rolling by,
Stop and say hello, give them a smile and a hi.
For their love knows no bounds, it's pure and true,
And they'll inspire you to be the best you can do.
