Give Us a Chance

You need to give Mentally Challenged folks a chance.
If you don’t they won’t learn to dance.
If you pass us on the street
Say hi.
We will say hi back to you.
Some of us are shy to strangers.
But if you start the conversation
We just might say something back to you.

For, if you don’t give us a chance.
We won’t feel good about ourselves inside.
And not do the things we were met to do in life.

If no one encourages us to be the best we can be.
Or go beyond our boundaries of what we can do.
We won’t do anything to improve our lives.
Or won’t do things that keep us fit and active for our lives.
