A day at the fair


What does it mean
to a disabled child
to spend a day at the fair
with friends
with sisters
with brothers
with parents
with teachers
with staff
all together?


What does it mean
to a parent
to spend a day at the fair
with friends
with sons
with daughters
with parents
with teachers
with staff
all together?



What does it mean
to spend a day at the fair
with a child?
with any child?

no time to cry
no time to sleep
no time to sigh
no time to weep

just time to laugh
just time to love
sleep is for later
life is for now

all together.
