Uncle Jack Called Me an Invalid

The thing which makes of me an invalid
My individual residual
Of what was done to me* and what I did
Disables yet enables me to be
Of a peculiar perspective to see
The most unusual as usual

By which the invalid is made valid
Each breath and heartbeat and tick of the clock
An unexpected miracle of grace

Blessed are those who can forget like God
Whose healing forgiveness serves to unlock
All of the doors which are slammed in my face
A validated invalid if odd
I continue my daily pilgrimage
Validated in an invalid age

*(done to me by Uncle Jack)
