Julia's Wish
Be patient with me
And give me a chance
I,too, want to join in life's dance
Don't take my silence
As not being "all there"
I am beautiful and real
With so much to share
Be patient with me
I have feelings and dreams
Just like you do
If I asked you to trade places
Would you really want to?
Remember that when you look at me
I need you to see all that I can be
I need you to help me open doors
So that my life can be mine and yours
I'm a beautiful child
Locked in a place
Where I'm forced to express
All my feelings with my face
My face very simply states
"Look - I'm an angel in waiting"
Please don't stop dreaming for me
It would be devastating
Love me and touch me
That makes me real
I need the chance to express
All that I feel
Be patient with me
I want the chance too
To do all of the things
That other children do
