There was a time I could not read or write
My education was limited to what I heard from others and programmes out on the free view box
Then one day someone came up to me
And said would I like to learn to read and write
There’s an organisation that can help called The Shannon Trust
I took up the opportunity to learn to read and write
Meaning my education is no more limited to programmes put on TV or from others that are around me.
Today you may find me amongst the books of the library
Or sat quietly head deep in a book learning something new or off on a wild adventure
Learning to read and write opened the door for me to learn new skills
Discovering the library opened the door to setting my mind free
