In anticipation

Wondering what the future holds

Hopes and wishes and prayers abound

For a  peek into the life yet to come

For where the events are going to turn

Some dreams hold the secret

Some prayers give the comfort

Wishing it becomes as beautiful as a dream

Floating lightly in a lively stream

A dream I dream and a dream you have

Of what the life is going to share

For every prayer has an answer

And every dream has a believer

For future is a page unturned

Waiting for its time to come

International day of disability

About 15% of the world's population or about 1 billion people suffer from some form of disability or another which might be minor or extensive. Disability may be physical or mental in nature. It might be congenital or acquired due to some disease or accident later in life. Children with disability are more likely to suffer abuse at schools and daycares leading them to dropout from there. Reports suggest that about 75% of children with disability in developing nations do not attend schools, minimizing their chances of finding livelihood later in life. Parents of children with disability have greater trouble finding a caretaker for their children and more troubled with their child's future. Since the child with disability needs greater support and understanding, the parents are more worried about their child's life after them. Having a child with special needs is a daunting task and on top of that they have to answer all sorts of questions about the disability from curious onlookers. People in developing nations have different perspective about disability and may not be that welcoming towards the child and his parents. People with disability need to be welcomed wherever they are. They may lack some abilities but the one that have an abundance of, is the ability to spread love. They don't need sympathy but they do need understanding. They may not be able to do everything but whatever they do, they do it with the best of their capabilities. All they need is love and acceptance and people around the world should be understanding and caring towards them.
