Through The Eyes Of A Child
With ADHD
Please
tell me that you love me,
for I need to be accepted in
your eyes.
Please let me know when I
have done well, for I need
to know that sometimes I am
like other children.
Please share some of your
thoughts with me, for my
intelligence is not what is
impaired.
Please bother to correct me
and keep me in line as much
as necessary. I cannot steer
myself.
Please learn all you can
about my problem. I need
understanding as well as
discipline,
Give me your patience,
because although it takes me
longer, I need to succeed
just like all the other
children.
Please make time in your day
for me. I need to feel that
attention and affection re
things you want to give. I
will not go away if you
pretend I'm not there.
Remember that I am a complex
person with many traits that
are right and fine. Pleases
help me see those things in
myself. You are my mirror.
Please do not abuse me. For
although I need a firmer
hand than most, I feel lost
and alone when I see
rejection in your eyes. I
have no motive and all I can
do is say "I'm sorry" over
and over again.
Please remember that I love
you, for you stand beside me
day after day in this
confusing and frightening
world. You are the reason I
am not alone.

ADD
By Martin
Do we admit our self we have it,
Or is it better to just ignore it
When my head starts spinning
It's hard to keep my spirit uphill
Why can't I keep focus on one thing
No I have to try to succeed at everything
Sometimes I pretend to be tough
Or I might choose to bluff
Some people think that I'm lazy
Reality is so far from their thoughts, it's
crazy
Hard to make simple decision
`cause I get lost in my imagination
Can hardly do any planification
I'm always changing direction
I can't stand in place
But don't know where to race
Just want to be happy
And not have to worry

TO KIDS WHO
ARE DIFFERENT
Here's to the kids who are different.
The kids who don't always get A's,
The kids who have ears
twice the size of their peers...
And noses that go on for days...
Here's to the kids who are different,
The kids they call crazy or dumb,
The kids who don't fit,
with the guts and the grit,
Who dance to a different drum...
Here's to the kids who are different,
The kids with the mischievous streak,
For when they have grown,
as history's shown,
It's their difference that makes them
unique.
NEVER be afraid to be yourself!
Being different can be a very good thing
Always remember that someone thinks you are
very special
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!

Don't
Quit
When things go wrong as they
sometimes will...
When the road you're trudging seems
all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts
are high
And you want to smile, but you have
to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a
bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you
quit.
Life is queer with its' twists and
turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck
it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems
slow--
you may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside
out.--
The silver tint of the clouds of
doubt,
And you can never tell how close you
are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you
must not quit!
