Add

An  ADD child in a classroom did sit
What was going on didn't make any sense
He didn't fully understand because his brain
To a different drummer did refrain

If he were taught a different way
If good nutrition and supplements came to stay
If he could go out to play 
Maybe he could make it through the day

When will the earth be changed
When will God right the wrong that's been arranged
When will heaven come down to earth
When will God say that's enough

Just one more span
Just help one more man
Just reach out and touch that special one
Save the world if that can be done

Joe Inka Date: 8/17/2018 8:30:00 AM I really enjoyed this poem as a person who has survived societies educational methods in spite of ADD by barely adapting my own learning techniques to squeak by. Now that I'm older I have learned to embrace it and even enjoy the way my mind wanders, at least most of the time. thanks for sharing this Login to Reply

His attention deficit lingers in things like him not completing an assignment and turning it in, getting distracted in class but he is passing so far. We encouraged him to take only three classes this semester so that he could focus more on those classes which I think is going to work out much better for him. He needs to raise his grade point average up a little. Thanks for stopping by. Sara

Thanks for stopping by several years ago. Sara

Diane Christian Date: 6/24/2009 11:04:00 AM aww a powerful write, my daughter has moderate learning difficulties but yet her faith is strong, she knows God loves her just the way she is and I believe he will give her the things she needs to know in time, God does reach out to these special children just his time frame is different from ours, my leanne is so strong in faith she does not trust any one but him and if any one says who is your best friend she says God every time, oh that child like faith is so real, it will remain forever Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 8/13/2018 11:09:00 AM Diane, Thanks for stopping by years ago. Our grandson has that faith and it helps to keep him going in his learning endeavors. Sara
