Notes About The Poem
These images are from a google search. I have no idea who the kids in this picture are. I buckle kids in wheelchairs on a bus every single day. I think that literally everyone deserves an education.
Education
Over there in the wheelchair
sits a kid that can barely talk,
his legs are weak and I think
he wishes that he could walk.
And on my bus he rides
to school every single day,
he has the right to education I say.
There is that girl also in the chair
she sits and laughs and laughs
because words she cannot share.
And on my bus she rides
to school every single day,
she has the right to education I say.
We board a girl on the bus
who is physically twenty in years,
but looking into her playful soul
is in Sesame Street gears.
She tells you her aunt got a new cat
then smiles with a playful glee,
And on my bus she rides
to school every single day,
she has the right to an education I say.
One by one the kids board on my bus
and I ride with them to their school.
Their special needs do not negate,
their needs to learn and grow,
they have to an education,
and they make my heart sing and glow.
