Kids Who Are Different

 

Here’s to the kids who are different

The kids who don’t always get A’s,

The kids who have ears twice the size of their peers,

And noses that go on for days…

 

Here’s to the kids who are different,

The kids who are just out of step,

The kids they all tease, who have cuts on their knees,

And whose sneakers are constantly wet…

 

Here’s to the kids who are different,

The kids with the mischievous streak,

For when they have grown, as history has shown,

It’s their difference that makes them unique.
