Handicapped Accessible

Ancient friends
without any regulations
not accepting
that their friend
could not enter in

Raising him up
onto the rooftop
tearing a hole
in the building’s roof

Lowering him down
right before our Savior
healed by the faith
made fully clean

Making this place
open to their neighbor
the one on the mat
unable to walk

Brought into the sanctuary
where Christ was preaching
not accepting no
and finding a way
