SPED

To Those Whose Voices Have Been Silent

Abi! Oh Abi!

Come out come out where ever you are

Where have you been

Memories of bunnies and blankets

Joy and sorrow

Real and fairytale

At first, backward letters

scribbles on the page

4 or 5 sticks with a circle on top

SMILES

Stories and characters began to grow with you

Pages and pages

Elaborate images

SMILES

But now

Fear, frustration

TEARS

Abi!

I’m coming to find you

Don’t worry

It’ll be OK

It’s safe
