My Cane is more than a stick to me, just like your eyes it helps me see.
I want to travel, find my own way, join in with you all when you play.
I wish to do just the same as you, but sometimes I need extra clues,
I keep my cane tip on the ground and it helps me find my way around.
It feels for changes on the floor and helps me find things like gaps
and doors.
It helps me know when there are steps and stairs and tells me when to
take more care.
My Cane's a detector, a bumper a guide and I feel much safer with it
by my side.
It tells me what's coming up ahead, so bumps and trips I no longer
dread.
I want to travel, find my own way, join in with you all when you
play.
My Cane is more than a stick to me, just like your eyes it helps me see.
