What Do They Think? By me aka Seekingsunshine
What do they think
When they look in my eyes
Do they see my silent tears
Knowing how hard I try
Wanting you to have a good education
Trying for you to get accommodations
Wanting you to succeed
The school district is filled with greed
Talking of cost cuts, budget deficits
Going to our meetings putting up fits
Never giving up till I get you what is right
Never giving up, I give them a good fight
When I call the school
They know us by first names
Feeling as if
We are in some hall of fame
Telling me that I
Should be a professional advocate
Can't do that now
Because I give you all I've got
Fighting for my own boys
To succeed in life's dreams
Not the dreams of others
But the ones your hearts see
Not wanting you to be like others
Only be what is your own best
Others not seeing that
We put them to the test
Do you see what I see
Know what I know
Do you know what is in my son's heart
Do you watch to see him grow
Not knowing what he is inside
Not knowing how hard I tried
Sometimes in the shadows
I know they wish I'd hide
My son's needs, wants, and desires
Are what I want them so see so dearly
His education I wish they would
Accommodate so fairly
Take the time to see
What my little boy holds inside
His heart is filled with so many feelings
Their negativity overcomes his pride
Do they see what I see
Do they know what I know
They do not hold his hand
They do not know what goes on in his land
