In a world of silence
She stands shoulders squared
With hope in her heart
But fear in her mind
Only to be given a chance

A chance to be equal
To make her own way
Not dependant on any
Try to earn a livelihood
To lead a life of fulfilment

A life, lived with satisfaction
Using her many talents, intelligence
To take her rightful place
Integrated into this world,
Society, without pity or charity

And in her turn she will give
Her skills to help another
From the world of silence
Forging an important link
In a chain of acceptance
