A Poem for Back-to-school

Posted Aug 12, 2026 - 1:39pm

by Kip Porter, PRC-Saltillo Ambassador 

The path you walk will stretch out, long and steep,
Your voice may falter, words a distant hum,
But your device, a beacon, clear and bright,
Will help you speak, to share your inner thought.
Stay sharp and focused, learn its every sign,
This journey needs your strength, your will to climb.

Don't let the mountain make your spirit dim,
The challenges will often feel so deep.
Each day a lesson, learning every line,
The AAC your partner, though it may be some
Time till fluency, till you feel you've fought
And won the battle, reaching for the light.

The progress slow, a flicker, then a bright
New word, a sentence, conquering the brim
Of silence, where your spirit was once caught.
The path ahead will often feel so steep,
But with your device, you’ll never be so numb,
You’ll find your voice, and make your meaning right.

Remember why you started, hold that light
Within your heart, and let it shine so bright.
Don't let the setbacks make you feel so glum,
The AAC is yours, to shape and trim.
This journey's long, it will not be a leap,
But steady steps, with purpose in your thought.

Persist with patience, let your meaning sprout,
And see your world expand into the light.
The effort's real, the trials will be deep,
But your device, it makes your future bright.
The AAC journey, it will be a steep
And winding road, so keep your purpose thought.

With every touch, with every thoughtful thought,
You move ahead, and find your rightful spot.
The AAC device, it won't be cheap
To master, but its power is so bright.
So keep on trying, let your spirit climb,
This journey's long, but you will overcome.

Your thoughts will bloom, your meaning will be brought
To light, the journey long, but you’ll be sharp and bright.
Keep up with your device, climb every steep.
