Don Richards - All I Can Be

Let me be all I can be
Give me only what I earn
Let me have a chance in life
A chance in which to learn

A chance to learn what I can do
What ever it may be
Without regard to handicaps
Or personality

Let me speak if I can speak
Or listen if I can hear
Let me walk if I can walk
And face they challenges as they appear

Let me have my chance in life
To be treated equally
So I can find who I am
And be all that I can be.

Don Richards
