So, I Am A Little Different . . .
  

Go ahead, stare and make fun

But, to God  . . . I am special you see

He has love and compassion for everyone

Everything He gave to you, He also gave to me 
  

He gave me a loving heart, toward others

He gave me strength, to see me through

He shows me how to forgive, and love

People that laugh . . . And make fun, too 
  

Yes, I am a little different than others

My speech and walk, might bring a smile

Yet, you are my sisters and brothers

But, some cause days. . .  To be, a trial


Even though, I am a little different than you

That doesn't mean. . . I have no,  feelings

When treated badly, I feel sad and blue

Jesus sees, and then sends His healings 
  

I want you to try and understand

I really want, for you to know

I need your friendship, and helping hand

I will be loyal, even though. . . A little slow   

 
So remember  . . . when you want to make fun

Laughing, because I am different than you

Just know that, when all is said and done

That Jesus really does love me. . . Too!

 THOUGHTS & VERSES: . .

I have noticed at different times and occasions in my life, how mean some people can be. Particularly to the "Special" children of God, I am talking about those born with: Disfigurement, Downs Syndrome, Mental Retardation, and many other disabilities. In this era, these children are referred to, in most cases as "Special" which is appropriate, for I feel they are special in God's eyes.

These children seem to be so grateful for love and any attention we give to them. I believe they understand that they are different, yet want only acceptance.

Nothing infuriates me more, than to see one of these being teased and taunted by others! I can't help wonder how they can have such a mean heart to do this to these "Special" people.

In respect for these special ones, I have felt led to write the poem on this page, to express. . . .Maybe, a little of what they may be feeling.

The following verses come to mind, where these "Special Ones" are concerned:

VERSES:

Isaiah 41:10

1 Corinthians 14:33 a

James 3:16-18

Isaiah 50:7

Psalm 55:22

Psalm 119:165
