The Mancinis

Claudia Mancini of her son Guiseppe feels proud She says he is one who stands out from the crowd A motor car accident had him in a wheelchair But he is not one to say life is unfair His doctor is stuck for words to explain That Guiseppe is walking when he said he would never walk again Though only in his early thirties he is visibly lame And physically he will never again be quite the same The woman Guiseppe was to marry did not become his wife With a physically impaired man she would not spend her life His father Giovanni ten years ago of cancer died It does seem luck in life is not on Guiseppe's side But his mother Claudia of him does feel so proud She says he is one who stands out from the crowd.
