She's old and frail;
kind, gentle, sweet-spoken.
Her smiling face never wanes;
her sparkling eyes and looks convey.
How sweet to feel her nearness
Her voice is full of affection;
compassion and mercy flow.
Her touch is tender,
warmth and reassuring;
shaky with age but comforting.
Her wisdom is rich with imagination
Sincerity and truth is her beauty.
High in spirit, kindled with fire
of devotion and admiration;
she braves through the years.
A lady in a wheelchair.

I've known many like this lady when I did inhome nursing care which I thorougherly enjoyed. Yes often the ignorant pass those in a chair as though they don't exist. Poor fools don't realize how much these individuals still feel and how much of a wealth of knowledge and love they contain within their being..
