Illiteracy
I
can't even imagine how it must feel not to be able to read.
We
who can, must intercede.
We
must give them all, somewhere to turn.
And
something interesting to help them learn.
If
your couldn't read the can labels in a grocery store,
How
would you know what you're looking for?
There
is noway that you could drive a car,
You
couldn't read road signs, you wouldn't get very far.
You
couldn't even help your children with their homework.
It
would make you feel like a loser and a total jerk.
There
is a way for you to read.
The
Teal Program can help you succeed.
There
are lots of things that you can do,
If
you set your mind to.
Learning
to read better can improve your life,
And
make things a little better for your children and wife.
Then,
you will feel better, too,
At
all the new things that you can now do.
All
these things can help you better yourself.
And
make it easier for you and everyone else.
