Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Words cannot describe
the wonder of discovery
the play and banter
preschoolers and
kindergarten learning
exploring, awakening
to sound and socializing
Freed from their biology
their situation, by tools
by loving supports from
teachers, parents ready, willing
to sacrifice, to nurture, to learn
empower themselves, to prepare
their son, their daughter
to advocate, to grow, to find their way
in a different world, but one where
they too belong, where they fit in
Choosing one path, one choice,
the right one for them
Seeing the fruits, smiles, giggles,
words and interactions
where isolation and frustration
would have been their fate
in years past
Seeing their hearing, knowing
only in part the joy, the wonder
the amazement in their eyes
as they join, engage, their world
