A Poem to Celebrate the Diversity of Special Needs

Web	www.icdri.org

S pecial needs breed creativity

P ermitting change extending human scope,

E ncourage opportunities to cope,

C ompensating inner doubts to free

I deas and feelings, as the Present's plea

A nswered is, providing all with hope.

L ife's lottery incentives gives. We grope,

N ow well, now worse, in our diversity,

E ver onwards, seeking ways to see

E ver outwards, - search with telescope

D eep hidden truths which, slippery like soap,

S leep hid within ourselves in pregnancy.
