WHY COMPARE ONE AGAINST THE OTHER?

You see me with pity concern or indifference,

for I am a retarded child.

If I could express myself,

I would tell you that what I am!

I am very much like you,

I feel pain and hunger as you feel!

I itch when mosquitoes bite me

and run when I see a bee.

I feel happy when I do something

And feel glad, when I share something.

Ya, it?s right, I may not run or play like you,

Or I may not go to that school where you study.

But, I have a heart like you,

I love, and feel love

I don?t want much from you all,

I only need equal respect.

I can?t change the way I am,

I never really tried.

God made me different and unique,

I never ask him why?

Every child is like a butterfly in the wind

Some can fly higher than others,

But each one flies the best it can.

Then, why compare one against the other?
