Play with No fear


My sister’s got it
She ain’t no fool
She is the same
As me and you

She goes to work
And goes to school
Like I said, she is no fool

Part of class 2010
Her education not near end
Her learning will continue on
In hopes of discovering every corner and bend

She reads and writes
Does math too
Like I said, same as me and you

She goes to movies
And shops at a store
She buys, but gives more and more

You say, how can this be?
She has a disability.
It takes her more time and concentration
Maybe a different way than we
But in the end
She is the same as you and me


The author's comments:
My inspiration was my sister. People have created many myths about poeple living with Down syndrome. Since my sister has Down syndrome I wanted to tell everyone that she is able do the same as everyone else in a way that would be easy to understand,through poetry.
