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?
